8oz / 225g Self Raising Flour

Method

Beat the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy, add the eggs gradually to the mix continuously beating. Mix in the Camp Coffee. Then gradually fold in the flour. Spoon into two 7 inch greased and lined sandwich tins and place in the centre of the oven for 30 to 35 minutes.
Leave cakes in the tin for a few minutes before turning out and leaving to cool on a rack.
While the cake is cooling make the icing; beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy then whisk the camp and milk into the icing until an even colour. When the cake is cool spread half the icing in the middle and either spread the icing on top or pipe in rosettes.
