- Put the butter and caster sugar into a large bowl and beat with electric beaters until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Sieve the flour into the bowl and beat again. Add the coffee mixture and stir until everything is well combined.
- Divide the mixture between the prepared tins and smooth the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes. If a cocktail stick pressed into the centre of the cake comes out clean, it is cooked.
