Coffee cake with Italian buttercream frosting

Coffee cake is a coffee-flavored cake made with eggs, sugar, flour, oil, and coffee. This cake is going to be super light and fluffy. Because this recipe is inspired by cotton chiffon cake. Cotton chiffon cake is made with egg yolk, flour, sugar, oil. And folded with some whipped egg whites. This whipped egg white gives a fluffy and light texture to the cake. And it tastes amazing. It is super easy to make. You can also make this chiffon cake in the oven or in the microwave or without an oven. Yes, in this post I made this cake without an oven(on a gas stove). Or the outcome is superb.

For the frosting of this coffee chiffon cake. I used Italian buttercream. Italian buttercream is very silky, buttery, and smooth buttercream. And it was perfect to frost your cakes. You can add different flavors to this buttercream. You can check my Italian buttercream post for more information and video recipe. for Italian buttercream, you need egg whites, sugar syrup, unsalted butter. Or you can also frost this with any frosting, like whipped cream, buttercream, chocolate ganache, etc.
