Coffee Cake

Grandma Kay's Coffee Cake Recipe
This is Grandma Kay's Coffee Cake Recipe. The recipe dates back from a time of rationing in the 2nd world war when eggs and butter were not freely available so it is egg-free using bicarbonate of soda instead, to make the cake rise.
Nowadays this coffee cake has the added use that it can be made for people who are sensitive to eggs, and also for vegans.
You can substitute butter for the margarine if you wish though, and you can also use gluten-free (self-raising) flour.
8 oz. (225g) Self-Raising flour
4 oz (115g) sugar
3 oz (85g) margarine
1 tablespoon black treacle or molasses
5 tablespoons strong black coffee
