Preparation

To prepare cake batter:
Combine 1st 6 ingredients (dry ingredients). Add eggs, oil, coffee, milk, and vanilla and stir to combine. Batter should be thin.

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Pour batter into lined muffin tins (24 count) and bake for 20 minutes or until cake springs back to the touch.

Serve with a cup of coffee and a smile.
