I want to bake a coffee flavored cake and I have the following ingredients: flour, butter,sugar, instant coffee, vanilla extract, orange extract, powdered sugar, veg oil, olive oil, eggs, salt, cream cheese frosting.

However, I do not have baking powder or baking soda.

    Make the cake as normal except, put only the yolks in the cake and not the whites and if your recipe calls for oil, use applesauce instead.. Take the mix all the way to point where it would go into the pans, then set the bowl aside.

    In another large bowl, using 5 egg whites, beat them until they form very stiff peaks.

    Then add the egg whites to the cake mixture and CAREFULLY and GENTLY fold them together until mixed but as little as possible. Place in the oven and bake as usual. This may need to be cooked a little longer but not less time so don’t open the oven until at least the recommended time is up.

    Check with a toothpick.

    Do you have self-rising flour?
