Ingredients
Ingredients
butter
1 1/2 cups (softened)
cream cheese
8 ounces (softened)
sugar
3 cups (granulated)
eggs
6 large (room temperature)
all-purpose flour
3 cups (sifted)
salt
1/8 teaspoon (n/a)
vanilla extract
1 teaspoon (n/a)
instant coffee
3 tablespoons (dissolved in 3 teaspoons hot water)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
2
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the softened butter, cream cheese, and dissolved instant coffee until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
3
Gradually add the sugar and vanilla extract to the cream mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add this flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6
Prepare a bundt pan by spraying it with non-stick spray like Pam, then dust it with flour or cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
7
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top (which will end up being the bottom) may still appear slightly moist—that's okay! Overbaking can result in a dry cake, so aim for a moist texture.
9
Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
