Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F).

Prepare a baking pan by lining it with parchment paper.

Separate the egg whites from the yolks into two bowls.

Whisk the egg yolks with sugar until pale and creamy.

Add milk and vegetable oil to the egg yolk mixture, then mix well.

Sift in the cake flour, baking powder, and salt, and fold until combined.

Dissolve instant coffee in a small amount of hot water and add to the batter, mixing well.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.

Gradually add sugar to the egg whites and continue beating until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold the egg whites into the batter in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
