    2. Butter and flour a 10-inch tube or bundt pan. Set aside.
    3. Mix butter until creamy, add sugar and cream further. Add egg yolks one at a time waiting for previous added yolk to be fully incorporated after mixed. Scrape in between additions. Cream until light and fluffy. Then, add vanilla extract.

    5. Combine milk with coffee mixture.

    8. Let sit 10 minutes. Place a serving dish on top of baking pan and quickly turn it upside down.
    9. For topping, whip ingredients in a cold bowl until peaks form and add dollops to top of cake. Slice and serve.
