Bereiding
- Stap 1
Preheat the oven and prepare the pans

- Stap 2
Mix the dry ingredients

- Stap 3
Add the wet ingredients

- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a thick batter forms.
- Stap 4
Add the hot liquid
- Carefully stir in the hot water and hot coffee.
- The batter will become thin; mix slowly until smooth and evenly combined.

Bake the cakes
