Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together the milk, coffee, melted butter, and eggs until everything is well combined. In a separate large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and the spices—cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and gently stir just until everything comes together. Let the batter rest for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray. Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the skillet and cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface. Flip the cakes and cook until they're nicely browned on the other side. Keep going until you've used up all the batter.
Serving Style Ideas
Serve these cakes warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream. They also pair wonderfully with a side of fresh fruit or a smear of cream cheese for extra richness.
Storing Food Safely
Store leftover cakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, freeze them wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and foil; reheat gently before serving to keep them soft.
