coffee flavored cake

i finally used the organic vanilla extract that we received from our cousin as a souvenir!
she bought it for us when she went on a cruise awhile back...
it smells so good.. compared to the non-organic vanilla extract..



i made a coffee flavored cake.. but it was some what burnt.. but it tastes good!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup milk
2 1/2 tablespoon instant coffee granules (the recipe i found recommended to put 1/3 cup of instant coffee granules.. but im not a BIG fan of coffee.. )
2 cups sifted flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salk
1 cup unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup sugar (if you followed the original recipe (1/3 cup instant coffee) than 1 1/2 cup sugar is just about right.. but if u decreased the amount of coffee.. i suggest you to add 1 cup of sugar instead..)
4 large eggs

Directions:
1) preheat oven 375 F
2) Combine milk and coffee crystals in a small sauce pan and mix well. Set aside and cool
3) Sift flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside
4) cream butter in a bowl with electric mixer. Add vanilla extract and sugar. Beat 2 mins. Add eggs, one at a time. Beat high speed for 1-2 minutes.
5) Mix low speed, add flour in 3 additions & milk in two additions.
6) Grease Pan and bake for approximately 40-50 minutes.
