I love drinking coffee. I drink several cups a day. My favorite way to drink coffee is with a cookie or a slice of cake on the side. It adds a little bit of sweetness to my day. I used this recipe for inspiration but created my own twist on the cake. My recipe is below.

Ingredients

1. 2 cups flour
2. 1 cup sugar
3. 2 teaspoons baking powder
4. ½ teaspoon salt
5. ½ cup oil
6. 2 eggs
7. ¾ cup milk (I used almond milk)
8. 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract (I used homemade Madagascar vanilla made with vodka that a family friend gifted to me)
9. 2 shots of expresso
10. 1 ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
11. Honey, cocoa powder and ground cinnamon to sprinkle on top

Method

• Preheat the oven to 175c (350f).
• Mix all of the ingredients together.

• Oil the baking pan you’re using so the cake doesn’t stick to it.

• Bake for about 35 minutes.
• Flip over onto a plate when it’s cooled for at least 30 minutes.
• Sprinkle some honey, cocoa powder, and ground cinnamon on top.

Pour yourself a cup or coffee and dig in. It’s the perfect way to start the morning.
