Coffee and Walnut Cake is a classic British dessert that combines the rich flavors of coffee and the nutty crunch of walnuts. It is a moist and indulgent cake that is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
- 225g (8 oz) unsalted butter, softened
- 225g (8 oz) caster sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 225g (8 oz) self-raising flour
- 2 tbsp instant coffee, dissolved in 2 tbsp boiling water
- 100g (3.5 oz) walnuts, chopped
Instructions[edit | edit source]
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease and line two 20cm (8-inch) round cake tins. 2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy. 3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. 4. Sift in the self-raising flour and gently fold it into the mixture until well combined. 5. Stir in the dissolved coffee and chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. 6. Divide the batter equally between the prepared cake tins and smooth the tops with a spatula. 7. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. 8. Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tins for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving[edit | edit source]
Once the cakes have cooled completely, you can assemble the Coffee and Walnut Cake. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of coffee-flavored buttercream frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining buttercream. Decorate with additional chopped walnuts if desired.
Variations[edit | edit source]
There are several variations of Coffee and Walnut Cake that you can try:
- Add a layer of coffee-flavored ganache between the cake layers for an extra indulgent touch.
- Substitute some of the walnuts with pecans or hazelnuts for a different flavor profile.
- Drizzle a coffee glaze over the top of the cake for added moisture and flavor.
