Coffee Marble Cake

This recipe is a different option to the marble cake using coffee instead of chocolate.

Ingredients:

• 3 eggs (whites and yolks separated)
• 1 and ¼ cup sugar
• ½ cup butter
• 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ cup of instant coffee
• Butter to grease and all-purpose flour for dusting the cake pan

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to medium heat (about 400°F / 200 ° C).
2. Grease with butter and dust with flour a cake pan.
3. Using an electric beater, beat well the egg whites until stiff. Set aside.
4. In another bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar.
5. Add the butter, flour, yogurt and beat more until mixture is smooth.
6. Add the egg whites beaten previously, salt, vanilla and baking powder. Mix well.
7. Remove 1 cup of the mixture and mix with the coffee.
