To begin, preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 9×5 loaf pan. Set it aside.

In a bowl, combine 2 1/2 c flour, a teaspoon each of cinnamon and nutmeg, and a half teaspoon each of allspice, baking powder and salt.

Measure out 2 tablespoons of instant coffee granules, and crush them a bit with a mortar & pestle.

DSC_3631_edited-1-1

Add the instant coffee to the dry ingredients, and stir them all together. Set that bowl aside for now.

In your mixing bowl, beat together 1 1/4 cup sugar with 2 sticks (1 cup) of room temperature butter. Beat these until they are very fluffy.

With the mixer going, you will add 4 eggs (room temperature) one at a time, incorporating each fully before adding the next.

Once the eggs are beaten in, add in 2 tablespoons of coffee liqueur.

Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula, being sure everything is mixed in well.

Add half of your dry ingredients into the butter mixture.

When it is just mixed in, add in 1/4 cup milk.

DSC_3637_edited-1-1

When the milk is mixed in, add in the remaining half of the dry ingredients. Mix until it is just combined and smooth – again being sure to scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula.

Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.

Bake the cake for 70-80 minutes or until it tests done in the center with a tooth pick. Allow it to cool in the pan, on a cooling rack for a few minutes. Then run a thin knife around the edges, and turn it out to cool completely.

Dust with some powdered sugar if you like, or just eat it plain. This also makes a great ingredient for other desserts that use pound cake in them.

Enjoy!
