100ml semi-skimmed milk
50g walnuts (chopped)
2 tbsp icing sugar
2 tsp instant coffee
60ml boiling water

Instructions:

To make this delicious Coffee and Walnut Cake, begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (fan)/200°C/gas mark 6. Grease a 20cm round cake tin with butter, then line the base and sides with baking parchment.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Next, beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Sift in the flour, baking powder and ground walnuts, and stir until combined. Finally, add the instant coffee to the milk and stir in.

Now pour the cake mixture into the prepared tin and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the icing, mix together the icing sugar, instant coffee and boiling water until smooth. Spread the icing over the cooled cake and sprinkle with chopped walnuts. You can then slice and serve your delicious Coffee and Walnut Cake, and enjoy!
