MARBLE COFFEE CAKE

Preparation Method :

• Prepare the cake: in a large bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer until lightly foamy. Gradually add the sugar while mixing and combine to mix until thick and foamy.
• Fold the flour into the eggs and mix until uniform.
• Divide the mixture into two equal portions. Fold the coffee into one half and mix until smooth and brown.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Spoon 2 tablespoons of the yellow mixture into one side of the pan. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the brown mixture on the same side. Repeat on the opposite side of the pan. Repeat with the remaining mixtures.
• Bake for 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Prepare the frosting: make coffee syrup by dissolving the sugar and 1 tablespoon of liqueur in the boiling water. Stir well.
• Using an electric mixer beat together the cream and confectioner's sugar. Mix until the mixture forms stiff peaks.
• Add 1 tablespoon of liqueur and whisk well.
• Set aside.
• Assemble the cake: cut the cake in half horizontally. Spoon half the coffee syrup in the center of the bottom half. Spread the frosting evenly over the bottom half of the cake.
• Place the top half back on the cake and pour the remaining syrup over the top.
• Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
• Store the cake for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
