Notes* If you can’t find very fine instant espresso powder, you can dissolve the 2Tbsp in 1 Tbsp hot water. Cool completely before adding to the frosting.** Ensure there is NO trace of egg yolks in your whites and that your mixer bowl and whisk is completely grease free or your meringue won’t stiffen.*** The buttercream may look like it’s curdled at some point. Keep mixing until it is completely smooth.
Nov 26, 2020 – Buttercream recipe revised to use 2 cups sugar instead of 1.5 cups sugar to align with my main Swiss meringue buttercream recipe. You can use 1.5 cups sugar if you prefer.

I can honestly say out of all the cakes that I’ve made in my life, this is the worst tasting one ever. I used a different recipe for the frosting since I don’t like Swiss meringue buttercream. The frosting was good, but the cake was dense and dry, and had barely any flavor. I even soaked some simple syrup with dissolved instant espresso powder on top of all the cakes too. When I look at all other recipes, it appears that this one is more heavy on the flour, which is probably the reason.
I made this cake for my friend's birthday and it was a huge hit. So much fun making the Swiss meringue buttercream, and the coffee and vanilla flavors really come through. Would definitely recommend and make again :)
I made this cake for my dads birthday and it was a hit! I find it a bit dense but probably because I made it in 3 9” pans. Still delicious and the flavour was great!
