Sweet Coffee Bar

This is a very old recipe that I have tried many years ago. Today I found it in an old recipe book and felt so nostalgic that I had to bake it. And this time, I added a little touch. You need to use Turkish coffee or Espresso with this recipe, but instant coffee will also do.

Ingredients
For the cake :
3 tablespoons of sugar
2 tablespoons of butter
1 egg
2 cups of flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/2 cup of raisins
1/2 cup of chopped hazelnuts
1 1/2 espresso cups of water 
1/2 espresso cup of Turkish coffee (without sugar) 
1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
Pinch of salt

For the icing:
115 gr icing sugar
2 tablespoons of milk
1 packet sugar vanilla

How to:
1. Beat the egg with the sugar and (room temperature) butter.

2. Continue mixing and gradually add the flour, baking powder, raisins, hazelnuts, water, coffee, cinnamon and salt at the same time. 

3. Spread the mixture evenly onto a square or round cake tin  and bake in the 175 degree oven for 22 minutes.

4. Leave to cool and make the icing. Once the coffee cake has completely cooled down, spread the icing evenly and serve. Eat and enjoy!
