In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar till soft and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add salt.
In another separate bowl, sift flour, baking powder and salt 3 times. Fold in the sifted ingredients into the creamed mixture alternately with the coffee mixture, starting and ending with flour.
Pour the batter into a well greased and floured cake tin. Level the top and bake the cake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.
Remove cake from oven and let it cool completely before decorating it.
