  • Using a spatula, gently fold in the egg whites mixture into the batter mixture.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. 
  • Grease the sides & bottom of the molds / cake pans.
  • Pour the batter mixture into the molds about 2/3 full.
  • Bake for about 20-30 minutes. Cake is ready if toothpick inserted comes out clean.

​​PREPARE THE FROSTING:
  • Beat the egg whites until frothy.
  • Add the salt, 1 tbsp sugar and 1 tbsp instant coffee powder.
  • Beat at  medium speed until soft peak. Set aside.
  • In a sauce pan, combine dissolved coffee and sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
  • Bring to a boil over moderate heat (no need to stir).
  • Boil for 2-3 minutes. 
  • Remove from heat and slowly pour hot syrup into whites, beating constantly until meringue is cool to the touch. 
​***NOTES*** 
  • Before proceeding, make sure meringue has cooled down.
  • Add softened butter (1 tbsp at a time), beating well after each addition until mixture is smooth.
***Mixture may look curdled before all of the butter is added but will come back together by the time beating is finished.
