Equipment

  • 1 Stand mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 175 g dark brown sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 375 g self-raising flour
  • 330 g caster sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 275 ml milk
  • 250 g unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp instant coffee granules
  • 60 g unsalted butter extra, melted or chopped into very small cubes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 160°C and prepare a 20cm x 30cm metal slice tin greased and lined with non-stick baking paper, or if you have a USA pan, you won't need to grease it but using baking paper to lift it out later is handy. Just remember to leave an overhang of paper so you can grab it easily.
  • Place the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.
  • Place the flour, sugar, eggs, milk, butter and vanilla in a large bowl and whisk until smooth.
  • Pour half the mixture into a lightly greased 20cm x 30cm metal slice tin lined with non-stick baking paper. Sprinkle the coffee and half the brown sugar mixture over the cake. Pour over the remaining cake mixture and spread evenly.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar mixture and spoon over extra melted butter or dot around the tiny cubes.
  • Bake till golden brown and cooked through start checking at 25 to 30 minutes although depending on your pan and oven it may take longer. Another way of checking is when it reaches 85°c in the centre it's done. Either serve warm with ice-cream or cream or allow to cool and serve with a cuppa.
