A Cake That’s Full of Beans (Literally!)
RICH, BOLD, AND OH-SO-COFFEE-LICIOUS.
Meet your next favourite bake: The Intensity 14 Coffee Cake!
Love coffee and cake? This is your dream combo! A buttery sponge meets the bold, rich flavour of Urban Brew’s Intensity 14, perfectly balancing sweetness with a caffeine kick. Top it with coffee-infused icing, a swirl of jam, or a sprinkle of walnuts, and you’ve got a show-stopper. Need extra buzz? Use two pods and let the flavour party begin! 👇
Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 170g butter or margarine, plus extra for the tins
- 170g caster sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 170g self-raising flour
- 1 Urban Brew Intensity 14 pod, brewed and cooled (or 2 if you’re feeling bold).
For the Icing:
- 225g icing sugar
- 100g butter or margarine
- 1 x Urban Brew Intensity 14 pod (or 2 if you're all in on the flavour), dissolved in 1 tbsp hot water
- Strawberry jam (optional, but c’mon—it’s jam!)
- Walnuts or cherries to decorate (also optional, but highly recommended for that extra flair)
Method
Step 1: Prep the Scene.
Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan, and butter two 18cm sandwich tins. Easy peasy.
Step 2: Whisk Away.
Whisk butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Gradually add whisked eggs with a little flour, then fold in the rest of the flour.
Step 3: Add the Coffee Love.
Stir in your dissolved coffee, then divide the batter between the tins. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and a skewer comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
Step 4: Create Icing Magic.
Beat icing sugar and butter until creamy, then mix in your Intensity 14 coffee. Set aside until ready to assemble.
Step 5: Sandwich & Style.
Spread icing on one sponge and jam on the other (if using). Sandwich together, slather icing on top, and finish with walnuts or cherries for flair.
Voilà - coffee cake perfection in no time! 🎂☕
HERE’S WHAT OUR BREW CREW HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT
GET TO KNOW THIS BREW A BIT MORE
Rich, powerful and packed with the finest coffee, freshly roasted in Australia, grab a pack for a smack-in-the-face kinda taste. Drink with your milk of choice (or black if you want to be knocked into next week). Your mug and tastebuds have been warned.
SERVING SUGGESTION
Our Intensity 14 is perfect with milk. Cows. Oat. Freshly squeezed Yak under a quarter-full moon. Our Intensity 14 is made to handle all the milk!
But it's especially made to handle freshly frothed milk and a dash of choccie powder on top. We're a big fan of an Intensity 14 in the form of a Cappuccino, and we know you will be too!

TELL YOUR TASTEBUDS WHAT’S CUP
Mighty, macho and made for milk, you better believe that we didn’t come to play when we were formulating our Intensity 14. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, just when you thought we couldn’t craft a cuppa with even more flavour, we added this bad boy to our line-up.
Our mission was simple: to blow ya mind. And look, while we’re not Eve featuring Gwen Stefani, you can trust us; our Intensity 14 will definitely blow ya mind.
IF OUR INTENSITY 14 WERE A FAMILY MEMBER
He’d definitely be the awesome uncle who you’d always call to help you move. Perhaps he owns a leather jacket, wears some awesome sunnies and maybe has a motorbike with some tats to match. Not-so-secretly, he’s also a sweetheart, but he’s ready to rumble when needed. Strong, reliable and dependable; that’s our Intensity 14!
