Marbled Tea Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup butter
    3/4 cup white sugar
    2 eggs
    1/2 cup milk
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
    2 tablespoons boiling water
    2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
    Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Use and electric mixer to beat the butter and sugar in a separate large bowl until light and fluffy. One at a time, beat the eggs into the butter mixture. Beat in 1/2 of the flour mixture, the milk, and the remaining flour. Mix well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
    Transfer about 1/3 of the batter to a small bowl. Dissolve the instant coffee granules in 2 tablespoons of boiling water. Stir the coffee liquid into the small bowl of batter.
    Spoon 1/2 of the vanilla batter into the prepared baking pan, top with the coffee batter. Spoon the remaining vanilla batter over the coffee layer. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the batters together.
    Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on wire rack for 30 minutes. Dust cooled cake with cinnamon sugar.
