Basically, these will depend of the weight of the combined weight of the eggs (with shells on!). Once you know that, then you need exactly the same weight each of the caster sugar, flour and butter. Preheat the oven to 180DegC. Place the first four ingredients into a mixer (if you are lazy like me &#8211; or cream them together by hand) and mix until light and fluffy. Add the coffee and the splash of milk and mix for a few seconds longer. Divide the mixture into two medium cake tins, and bake for 20-25 minutes. Leave to cool on a rack and get on with the icing. Combine the softened butter and icing sugar together (you might need a little more or less icing sugar, don&#8217;t worry if you have loads left over you can always freeze it!), and either with a mixer, or electric whisk, beat until super light. Add the coffee bit by bit. Once the cake has cooled completely, use the icing to sandwich the two halves together, and decorate the top. I will leave the design of which completely up to you, but in our house we had chocolate coffee beans and fudge to hand. \u00a0A lot of which ended up on the cake, a lot of which didn&#8217;t&#8230; \u00a0\u00a0If you didn&#8217;t have anything to celebrate before, you do now!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesojournseries.com\/bavaria\/celestial-cake\/1-img_9425-002\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11876\"><img data-attachment-id=\"11876\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.thesojournseries.com\/bavaria\/celestial-cake\/1-img_9425-002\/\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/www.thesojournseries.com\/bavaria\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/1-IMG_9425-002.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,501\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Picasa&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 60D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1431713315&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;60&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"1-IMG_9425-002\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/www.thesojournseries.com\/bavaria\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/1-IMG_9425-002-300x188.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/www.thesojournseries.com\/bavaria\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/1-IMG_9425-002-720x451.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11876 pp_post_image\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thesojournseries.com\/bavaria\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/1-IMG_9425-002.jpg\" alt=\"1-IMG_9425-002\" width=\"800\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.thesojournseries.com\/bavaria\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/1-IMG_9425-002.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.thesojournseries.com\/bavaria\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/1-IMG_9425-002-300x188.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.thesojournseries.com\/bavaria\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/1-IMG_9425-002-720x451.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share me:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-11871\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thesojournseries.com\/bavaria\/celestial-cake\/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\" ><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-11871\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thesojournseries.com\/bavaria\/celestial-cake\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\" ><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-11871\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thesojournseries.com\/bavaria\/celestial-cake\/?share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\" ><span>Pinterest<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thesojournseries.com\/bavaria\/celestial-cake\/?share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\" ><span>Tumblr<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-reddit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-reddit sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thesojournseries.com\/bavaria\/celestial-cake\/?share=reddit\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Reddit\" ><span>Reddit<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Celestial%20Cake...&body=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thesojournseries.com%2Fbavaria%2Fcelestial-cake%2F&share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email a link to a friend\" data-email-share-error-title=\"Do you have email set up?\" data-email-share-error-text=\"If you&#039;re having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.
