Dalgona with Oatsome

This very simple and easy recipe to make a light and frothy coffee has been inundating the internet…and only requires three ingredients.

It was so funny when I saw so many of dalgona coffee recipes on the internet, which is nothing more than whipped coffee I just laughed…laughed because my aunt used to make this all the time using a simple fork when we were living in Brazil…more than 30 years ago…

I topped the coffee foam on a cup of Oatsome milk with a few ice cubes…it was so delicious, the combination of creamy coffee with oat milk…tasted like dessert in a cup.

Oh, before I continue, this was my first-time trying oat milk as I got an invitation to try Oatsome from BetterBody Food.

I received a sample of Oatsome for review purpose and I was not financially compensated for this post, all the opinions are completely mine own based on my experience.

– What is Oatsome?

Oatsome is an alternative for dairy milk, it is organic, non- GMO and gluten free. It tastes delicious and you can use in your baking, coffee…it is somehow creamy and yes, taste great.

– Do I personally like Oatsome?

Yes, it is creamy and super delicious, and it sure can substitute milk in every possible way. It is something that I would buy, especially that my husband is lactose tolerant.

– What is dalgona coffee?

Dalgona coffee according to the internet was originated from …really? As I mentioned above, my aunt was making this whipped coffee more than 30 years ago…

This coffee is made by simply whisking 3 ingredients: , and boiling water, using an equal proportion.

– Why is dalgona coffee different from the others?

The whipped coffee is super light, fluffy, velvety and it is placed on top of cold milk…therefore mimicking as iced or …sort of it…and yes, you can make it with hot milk.

– How long does the dalgona coffee last?

Using same proportion of the three ingredients will get you a pretty stable coffee foam. In my experience the stability of the foam will decrease by decreasing the amount of sugar.

– What do I use to whisk the coffee?

You can use all kind of kitchen tools from a simple fork to hand mixer…I personally used my milk frother stick. Just keep whisking until stiff peaks.

– Should we look at this popular whipped coffee?

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons instant coffee 2 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons boiling water Method:

Mix all the three ingredients in a small bowl and whip.

Whip until a stiff peak form.

Serve over ice milk or hot milk of your preference, such as oat milk, soymilk, almond milk, rice milk and so on…delicious over vanilla ice cream…it is a must try!

Buttermilk Chocolate Cake

If you care for chocolate cake, this is the recipe that you definitely want to try..the cake is rich, moist and super chocolatey…with a hint to coffee. This cake is delicious, somehow light and at the same time kind of fudge…I cannot explain…it is perfect as it is or you can “dress it up” by serving with a dollop of freshly whipped cream, drizzled with a caramel sauce, maybe a salted one or if you are in the mood for more exquisite one with miso caramel sauce (recipe coming next week)…it is really up to you. My suggestion is if you are just serving as it is you might want to increase slightly the amount of sugar, although my husband said it was good without extra.

The instant coffee give a deep flavor to the cake, and again you can add more or less according to your guests as you do not want too much coffee for kid’s birthday cake.

The recipe in spite of using a double boiler while whisking the whole eggs is it pretty simple. Just make sure that you have all the ingredients ready and it will be a piece of cake.

This recipe was adapted from here.

Ingredients:

43 g all-purpose flour 53 g cake flour 3 g baking soda 2 g baking powder 1.5 g salt 55 g dark chocolate 10 g unsweetened cocoa powder 1 to 1 ½ teaspoon instant coffee 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 55 ml water, hot 75 g butter at room temperature 2 large eggs, approximately 110g 80 g sugar 110 g buttermilk

Method:

In a small bowl sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and the salt and set that aside.

In a double boiler melt the dark chocolate. While the chocolate is melting whisk together the cocoa powder, instant coffee and vanilla with the hot water.

Once the dark chocolate is melted (you might want to add ½ tablespoon milk) add the butter and the cocoa mix, whisk until smooth and set aside.

In the double boiled add the eggs and sugar, mix well until all the sugar is dissolved. Keep whisking the eggs in the double boiled until the eggs are warm to the touch. Remove from the double boiled and keep whisking from medium to high speed until ribbon stage.

Add the melted chocolate and cocoa powder mixture to the whipped egg, and mix until it is all uniform.

Alternate the dry ingredients with the buttermilk, beginning with the dry ingredients and ending with the dry, add approximately half of the buttermilk at the time.

Mixing gently just until incorporated. Pour the batter in a 8 inch round pan or similar size. Tap the pan against the counter to remove the air bubbles trapped in the batter.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350F for approximately 30 to 40 minutes until a wooden stick comes out clean or bounced back to a gently touch on the top surface of the cake.

I hope you get to try this simple recipe for chocolate cake during this holiday season. If you enjoy this recipe, you might want to check on the Almond Flour Chocolate Cake recipe.
