Juice of 1 lemon
30 ml (2 tbsp) strong coffee
50 ml (1/4 cup) softened butter
500 ml (2 cups) icing sugar
Heat oven to 180 C (350 F).
In a large bowl, cream butter with sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time, and sour cream with an electric mixer. Stir in milk and set aside. In a separate bowl, mix flour with baking powder. Blend into butter mixture gradually, beating until smooth. Add lemon juice and rind. Mix well.
