Coffee and Walnut Cake Recipes

Ingredients :

1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp all purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp granulated sugar

10 tbsp (1 1/4 stick) unsalted butter, softened

3 large eggs

2 1/2 tbsp powdered instant espresso coffee or 1 tsp coffee extract

1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp walnuts, chopped

Filling and Frosting

1 cup confectioner's sugar

12 tbsp (1 1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened

1 tbsp Kahlua or strong coffee

9 or 10 walnut halves, for decoration

Method :

Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease and line two 7 inch round cake pans with parchment or wax paper. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, adding 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture after each. Beat well after each addition. Mix in the remaining flour and beat thoroughly. Then stir in the coffee and walnuts. Turn into the prepared cake pans and bake for 35-40 minutes, until lightly browned.

Remove from the oven and leave in the pans for a few minutes. Then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. To make the filling, beat together the confectioner's sugar, butter, and Kahlua until very smooth. Then sandwich the two layers together with the filling, frost, and decorate with the walnut halves.

A rich, sweet layer cake, iced and filled with coffee frosting, is accented with nuts.
