This recipe is easy to follow and requires simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup sour cream
120g
1 cup espresso coffee
230g
2/3 cup butter
150g
1 cup brown sugar
230g
3 eggs
150g
2 cups self-raising flour
300g
1 cup sugar
230g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, mix the sour cream and espresso coffee until well combined. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Add the Eggs:
- Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In another bowl, sift the self-raising flour to eliminate any lumps.
5. Mix the Batter:
- Gradually add the flour and coffee-sour cream mixture to the butter mixture in thirds, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix to ensure the cake stays light and fluffy.
6. Bake the Cake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
7. Make the Coffee Syrup:
- While the cake is baking, you can prepare the coffee syrup. In a small saucepan, combine the remaining 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of espresso coffee.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
8. Cool and Add Syrup:
- Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Using a skewer or a fork, poke holes all over the top of the cake.
- Pour the warm coffee syrup evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak in.
9. Serve:
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before slicing. Serve as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.

Tips:

- Ensure that the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start to achieve a smoother batter.

- Use freshly brewed espresso for the best coffee flavor, but if you don’t have an espresso machine, strong brewed coffee will work as well.

- Sift the self-raising flour to avoid lumps and ensure a lighter cake texture.

- When combining dry and wet ingredients, mix until just combined to avoid overmixing which can cause the cake to be dense.

- Let the cake cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts and better texture.

- For an extra touch, you can drizzle the cake with coffee glaze or sprinkle powdered sugar on top.

With its enticing coffee flavor and soft, tender crumb, the coffee syrup cake is a fantastic treat for any occasion. Whether serving it as a dessert or enjoying a slice with your afternoon coffee, this cake is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth and leave everyone asking for the recipe. Follow these tips and the easy steps outlined, and you'll have a delicious cake ready to wow your family and friends.
