Steps

1

Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl and give them a good whisk,
2

In another bowl, take your eggs and separate the egg yolks and egg whites
3

Beat the *egg yolks* and the remaining ingredients (100ml oil, 100ml strong black cooled coffee) and vanilla essence) together for 3 minutes,
4

NOTE: 100ml strong cooled coffee is made with 2 tablespoons of coffee granules mixed with 100ml hot water, then allow it to cool.
5

After beating your mixture of egg yolks and the remaining ingredients, add the flour mixture and beat until well mixed. At this point it, your mixture will be a bit dry. Set aside.
6

In another clean bowl, beat the *egg whites* until stiff but not dry, and fold/add into the mixture above and continue beating,
7

This is how it will look like👇👇👇. ((Please DON'T add any milk or water.))
8

Grease your round cake pan and pour in your cake mixture,
9

Preheat your oven at this point and bake your cake until when you insert a skewer or a knife in it, it comes out clean. I preheated my oven at 200°c and baked for 35min.
10

Allow your cake to cool completely before icing with a coffee-flavoured butter icing.
11

FOR THE ICING: This is what you need(I wrote it on the ingredient's section)...
12

Cream margarine and icing sugar (or normal sugar) together adding the dissolved coffee and the vanilla essence until the icing is of a good spreading consistency.
