Cake with Instant Coffee Powder

 

  'Cake with Coffee Powder' ..cannot call this as 'Coffee Cake' because coffee cakes are the cakes which are eaten with coffee. I read in a book that adding coffee powder to cake intensifies the chocolate flavour. Tried that... it really came out good. This time I increased the quantity of cofee powder just a teaspoon and made a coffee chocolate flavoured cake...This one is specially for coffee lovers.
