Cappuccino Cake

In my first attempt to make this cake I tried it in a 20cm tin and a small oven. The topping was too close to the top heat and it burned. The photo shows it made in a 25cm tin.

Ingredients

• ½ cup strong Black Coffee, cooled
• 150g Butter, melted
• ¾ cup Sugar
• 3 eggs, separated
• 1½ cups Flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
• ¾ Caster Sugar

Method

1. Mix melted butter, first measure of sugar, and egg yolks together.
2. Fold in sifter flour and baking powder alternately with coffee.
3. Place mixture in a lined 20cm tin.
4. Beat egg whites until stiff
5. Gradually beat caster sugar into the egg whites until mixture is thick.
6. Spread topping over cake mixture
7. Bake at for 45-50 minutes in a pre-heated 180° oven or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
8. Cool in tin.
9. Dust with cinnamon to serve.
