JAVA COFFEE CAKE WITH ESPRESSO GLAZE

 

Cake:

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

3/4 cups margarine, softened

1 cup sugar

2 large eggs

2 tsp vanilla

1 cup sour cream

2 tbs instant espresso, dissolved in 1 tbs hot water

 

Glaze:

3 tbs strong brewed coffee

1 1/2 tsp instant espresso powder

3/4 cups powdered sugar

 

In a medium pot, mix together flour, baking powder, soda, and salt.  In a large pot, add sugar to the margarine slowly, and cream together.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.  Beat in the vanilla.  Add the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream.  Begin and end with the flour.  Blend well after each addition.  Transfer about 1/3 batter to a small pot and blend in espresso mixture thoroughly.  Spoon 1/2 plain batter into a well greased Dutch oven.  Spoon coffee batter over the plain, spreading evenly.  Spoon remaining plain batter and spread evenly.  Bake at 350 for 1 hour.  Let cool for 30 minutes, then turn out to cool completely.  Mix glaze ingredients together and pour over cake.  Let stand for 10 minutes to let glaze set.  Serve warm.
