In reply to Elaine. Hi Elaine! I haven't ever measured it but I would guess it's 8-9" tall or so.

Hi! Can’t wait to make this! I will need to transport it, so how tall is the cake? Would a 10”H box work?

In reply to Sarah. Hi Sarah! Not in this recipe but I do that in my standard vanilla cake recipe. It should be fine. The cake may be slightly more dense.

Have you tried subbing the milk with Buttermilk or do you think that is a safe swap? Not sure if it affects the leavening agents.

I made this cake for my friend’s birthday and it was a huge hit. So much fun making the Swiss meringue buttercream, and the coffee and vanilla flavors really come through. Would definitely recommend and make again 🙂

In reply to Carrie.

Hi Carrie! Any instant espresso powder should work but make sure it’s instant. Otherwise you can just use instant coffee as well. For the cake recipe dissolve the instant coffee in with the milk — warm the milk so that the coffee dissolves better but cool completely before using in recipe. I would use 2Tbsp of instant coffee.

For the frosting that is a little trickier because you’ll need to dissolve the instant coffee first. Use 2-3 Tbsp and dissolve in 1 Tbsp of water or so. Enough to create a thin paste that you can stream into the frosting. I hope that helps!

This sounds delicious! I am looking for a recipe for a cake that incorporates coffee into it. I am having a hard time though finding the instant espresso. Is there another brand you would recommend? Thank you!

I made this cake for my dads birthday and it was a hit! I find it a bit dense but probably because I made it in 3 9” pans. Still delicious and the flavour was great!
