Coffee cake recipes are easy to come by in cookbooks and online, in fact, you may even have one that you swear by already.

But for anyone seeking a quick and easy version, baking expert and founder of Candy's Cupcakes, Candice Bannister has the perfect formula.

Sharing her recipe exclusively with Express.co.uk, Candice said: "This is the perfect recipe for those looking for a delicious afternoon treat, and is even better when enjoyed with a cup of coffee!

"Using coffee granules makes it a really easy recipe to follow and you can also experiment with the flavours of the cake, by adding other ingredients to the cake mixture, such as walnuts or cinnamon."

With just a handful of ingredients and 30 minutes of cooking time, this coffee cake is ideal to mark National Coffee Day this April 7.
