Coffee And Walnut Birthday Cake

Ingredients

For this delicious Coffee And Walnut Birthday Cake, you will need: 225g (8oz) softened butter, 225g (8oz) light muscovado sugar, 4 large eggs, 275g (10oz) self-raising flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 4 tbsp instant espresso powder, 2 tbsp warm water, 200g (7oz) walnuts, plus extra for decorating, icing sugar, for dusting and 500g (1lb 2oz) Ready-made coffee butter cream.

Instructions

Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (160°C fan)/350°F/Gas 4. Grease and line two 20cm (8in) round tins with baking parchment. Beat the butter and sugar together in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift the flour and baking powder into the mixture and fold in. Dissolve the espresso powder in the warm water and add to the mixture. Finally, stir in the walnuts. Divide the mixture between the two cake tins and spread out evenly. Bake in the oven for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre of each cake comes out clean.

Decorating

Once the cakes have cooled completely, make a hole in the centre of each one and fill with the coffee butter cream. Place the other cake on top and press down lightly. Dust the top with icing sugar and decorate with walnuts. Serve and enjoy!
