Soft, moist one bowl coffee cake topped with a crunchy biscuit- chocolate chip crumble!
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 170 grams or 3/4 cup unsalted butter , at room temperature
  • 2 Eggs , at room temperature
  • 150 grams or 3/4 cup sugar
  • 120 ml or 1/2 cup milk , at room temperature
  • 125 grams or 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt (omit if using salted butter)
  • 1 tablespoon coffee
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup crushed cookies , chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180 C . Grease and flour a 8 inch round pan or a Bundt pan. A used a 6 inch oval pan here as I made two smaller cakes.
  • Crush any biscuits of your choice and add choco chips or nuts. Keep aside
  • Measure out all the ingredients in a big mixing bowl. Beat until uniform and fluffy. Might take 5-10 minutes depending on your mixer
  • The batter is thick and fluffy. Mine looked a little curdled but baked up a dream.
  • Pour into prepared pan.
  • Add your chocochip-biscuit mixture on top. If using a Bundt, sprinkle it on the bottom BEFORE putting in your batter. Bake at 180 C for 28-32 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the centre will come out with only a few moist crumbs
  • Cool for 5 mins in the pan and invert out onto a rack and cool completely.

Notes

  • I would suggest using an electric beater to incorporate some air into this batter so its all fluffy. Failing that , some long good ol whisking and super sore arms should do the magic!
  • Half the recipe works just as good!
My chocochip -biscuit mixture formed a good topping so I didn't bother with decorations/icing. If you are skipping the mixture or it has sunk in while baking , you can dust icing sugar or top or drizzle some chocolate ganache .
