Same question as above. Or how can i substitute dry milk? Im also wonderin how can you get the aroma of coffee when there's no coffee from the list of ingredients

You bake it for 45-55minutes. I'm not sure about the dry milk.......I'll have to check into that. I don't think the cake is supposed to taste like coffee. I think they call it that because you have it with coffee......but I could be wrong (=
