Hi again Nancy. One more question: the directions state to mix milk with other ingredients but milk isn’t listed. How much milk should be used? Thanks again!

Aining - look at the coffee chiffon cake recipe at fooddelicacy.com for a help in ingredients.
That cake uses 150g flour and also uses 120 ml water or milk.
As the one posted at food52 uses 80g flour, about half, I would use 60 ml water or milk.

I find similar cakes use 2 tsp coffee powder for a recipe using 150g flour.
So I'd use about one tsp for this cake made with 80g flour.
In baking, I find instant coffee powder and ground coffee (including espresso) both work well.
