Ingredients
Cake Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 3/4 cup Butter softened, unsalted
- 1/2 cup Sugar granulated
- 1/2 cup Packed Sugar brown
- 3 Large Eggs room temperature
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/3 cup Milk
- 1 tbsp Coffee Granules dissolved in 1 tablespoon boiling water, instant
- 1/2 cup Dates pitted and coarsely chopped
Frosting Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Butter softened, unsalted
- 2 cup Sugar powdered, sifted
- 1 tbsp Heavy Cream
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Coffee Granules dissolved in 1 teaspoon boiling water, instant
Instructions
Prepare the Cake
- Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Dissolve instant coffee in boiling water. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Fold in Dates and Bake
- Fold in the chopped dates. Divide the batter evenly between two greased 9-inch round baking pans. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let Cakes Cool
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Coffee Buttercream Frosting
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Stir in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and dissolved coffee until smooth and creamy.
Frost and Decorate
- Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer with a generous amount of buttercream. Top with the second cake layer and frost the entire cake. Decorate as desired.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Coffee & Date Cake:
- For a more intense coffee flavor, use freshly brewed strong coffee instead of instant coffee granules.
- To make the cake even moister, you can soak the cooled cakes with a coffee syrup before frosting. Simply combine equal parts of strong brewed coffee and sugar, and brush over the cooled layers.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead, but the frosting may be slightly thinner.
- Get creative with decorations! Add chopped dates, coffee beans, or chocolate shavings to enhance the cake's visual appeal.
