Coffee and Walnut Cake

Coffee & Walnut Cake

Being my Dads favourite sweet treat of all time I thought I better do a post on it and even maybe give away my hidden recipe that he has always wanted to get his hands on....

All you need is love..... and a few other ingredients, which are;

3 eggs

200g butter

200g sugar

275g SR flour

vanilla pod

2 shots of espresso coffee

To make the sponge:

Cream together butter and sugar until very smooth.

Slowly add the eggs one at a time and not too quickly. (other wise the mixture will split)

The after the coffee has cooled down mix that into the mixture along with the vanilla.

Now all you need to add is the flour, so gently fold that in.

Put in a big (or small) tin and bake until light and fluffy!!

For the butter icing, just mixtogether butter ans icing sugar along with a bit more coffee  (to give it the darker colour) and get creative!!!

Enjoy.....   love Kirsty x
