Italian Coffee And Walnut Cake

Ingredients

This simple yet incredibly delicious Italian Coffee and Walnut Cake is a favorite amongst family and friends. It is an easy recipe to make and doesn’t require any fancy ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need to create this delightful cake:

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup strong brewed espresso
1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees Celsius). Grease and flour a 9-inch round baking pan. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients, alternating the buttermilk and espresso. Mix until everything is just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts and pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake for 30-35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
