Love-yum-yum or coffeecake with caramel glaze

Ooops, tastes like love-yum-yum says my younger sister Elina when she takes a bite of this cake. I have never tasted the cake she refers to but truly enjoy the taste of coffee flavored caramel together with soft cake. The coffeecake can be a foretaste of a coffee snack for those who already have started their summer holidays. It is raining outside so it is definitely worth starting to bake now.

Coffeecake with caramel glaze

about 16 pieces
100 g margarine
3 eggs
2 dl sugar
½ tbsp instants coffee (15 ml)
½ tsp water (5 ml)
2 dl flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp cacao

GLAZE
100 g margarine
1 dl sugar
½ dl cream, half-and-half (cream with 27% fat)
½ dl syrup1 tbsp cacao
½ tbsp instant coffee

Melt margarine. Beat the eggs and sugar until they are fluffy. Add margarine and instant coffee diluted in water. Mix flour, baking soda and cacao. Carefully fold into the egg mixture. Pour the cake-mixture into a buttered and line a 25 cm spring form. Bake in the lower part in the Owen 175°C, about 30 min.

Put margarine, sugar, cream, syrup, cacao and instant coffee in a saucepan. Let boil a couple of minutes while stirring until it becomes thick. Spread over the warm cake.

Wow. That is probably the best looking cheesecake I have ever had the pleasure of looking at. I am sure that it will taste just as good when I try this on my family later this week. Nice!
