Coffee Soufflé Cake

Coffee flavour cottony, soft, light and moist cake
Coffee Soufflé Cake
This is the fourth flavour of Soufflé Cake that I have baked after taking a strong liking for this low gluten cake.  I  also tried reducing the sugar whenever possible.
The cake is cottony soft, light and moist with a nice aroma of coffee.
Ingredients
3 egg yolk
1/2 egg (about 30g) or 1 small egg
15 gm sugar [I used 1 tbsp]
1/4 tsp salt


50 ml coffee milk [I used 2 tsp instant coffee granules [good quality] dissolve in 50 ml hot milk] - cool before use
35 ml vegetable oil [I  used 1 1/2 tbsp]
1/4 tsp coffee paste [optional]
40 gm cake flour  - sifted - set aside

3 egg white [large eggs]

1/4 tsp cream of tartar
55 gm sugar [used 3-4 tbsp]
  1. Line base of a 7" square tin [loose bottom tin] with grease proof paper and wrap it with tin foil.  Place it in a bigger square baking tin. [My new way - line base and sides of baking tin with greaseproof paper.  When baking, place a baking tray on the lowest rack, pour in some water enough to last for the duration of baking and place a wire rack over it.  Place baking tin on wire rack.  This way, you need not have to wrap baking tin with foil].
  2. Preheat oven to 150C.
  3. Mix coffee milk, oil and coffee paste together.
  4. Use a hand whisk mix egg yolks, half egg, sugar and salt together.
  5. Add in liquid mixture and whisk until well combined.
  6. Fold in sifted flour and stir until batter is smooth.
  7. Use a cake mixer, whisk egg whites and cream of tartar till frothy.   Add in the sugar in 3 batches and whisk until soft peaks formed.
  8. Fold in 1/4 of the meringue into the egg yolk mixture until combined.   Then fold in the rest of the meringue lightly in two portions until well combined.
  9. Pour batter into prepared cake tin.  Place it in the bigger cake tin [not necessary if following the new way].  
  10. Steam-bake cake in a preheated oven at 150 degrees C for 55 minutes.
  11. Remove cake at once from tin and all paper linings otherwise the cake base and sides may be moist because of vapour from steam-baking.  Cool it on a wire rack.
Note:
I usually chill the cake in the fridge before slicing.  This cake taste as good when chilled.  Cake keeps well in fridge for at least a week.
