  • 32 grams granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee powder, or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons Kahlúa (or coffee liqueur)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder
  • 5 teaspoons water

Instructions

  1. Fluffy Chiffon Coffee Cake:
    • Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line an 8×12-inch cake pan with parchment paper.
    • Whisk together wet ingredients (milk, oil, sugar, egg yolks, vanilla).
    • Sift dry ingredients (flour, coffee powder, baking powder, salt) and combine with the wet ingredients.
    • Prepare the meringue by whipping egg whites with sugar and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
    • Gently fold the meringue into the coffee mixture, pour into the cake pan, and bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool before rolling.
  2. Kahlúa Coffee Whipped Cream:
    • Dissolve gelatin in water and gently heat until fully dissolved.
    • Whip heavy cream with sugar and instant coffee to soft peaks, then fold in Kahlúa and dissolved gelatin.
  3. Assembly:
    • Unroll the cooled cake and spread the stabilized whipped cream. Re-roll and chill before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to let the cake cool slightly before rolling to prevent cracking.
  • The whipped cream is stabilized using gelatin to ensure it holds its shape when applied to the cake.
