Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. Grease and line base and sides of two 10 x 3 inch rimmed baking trays.
Cream butter and beat until pale and creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Fold into creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beginning and ending with flour.
Mix 1/3 of batter with coffee until well combined. Distribute 1/2 of remaining plain batter between prepared pans. Spread coffee batter over top. Finish with remaining plain batter. Bake for 45 mins, until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 mins then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile, to make the coffee glaze, whisk coffee and powdered sugar until smooth. Stir over a double boiler for 5 mins, until glossy and pourable. Pour over cake. Let stand for 10 mins to set. Slice.
