Kahlúa Coffee Whipped Cream:

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
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.
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.
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.
