1&1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda

In a large bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients . Add the milk to the coffee mixture and stir .
Next, Add all the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisk until well combined.
Pour batter in a greased baking tin . Bake for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
Decorate with fresh whipped cream , shavings of milk chocolate and berries or caramel and cream ... Or melted chocolate and a few tablespoons of cream stirred together to make a thick chocolate ganache.
I used a rectangle baking tin size 30-33cm. You may divide batter into two round standard baking tins as well and bake for 20-25 minutes.
