Instructions
To make the cake:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C(fan)/350°f/Gas 4.
- Cream 225 g Butter and 225 g Dark brown sugar together until fluffy.
- Dissolve 2 tablespoon Instant coffee in 2 tablespoon warm water and mix into the butter/sugar.
- Mix in 4 Eggs.
- Carefully fold in 225 g Self-raising flour and then fold in 60 g Walnuts.
- Grease and line the loaf tin. Pour the cake batter into the tin. Cook for 40-45 minutes, until a skewer or toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Remove from the tin and put onto a wire rack. Allow to cool completely.
To make the icing:
- Cream together 100 g Butter and 200 g Icing sugar, until light and fluffy.
- Dissolve 2 tablespoon Instant coffee in 2 tablespoon warm water and mix into the buttercream, along with 2 tablespoon Whole milk.
- Spread the buttercream over the cooled cake and decorate with more Walnuts (optional).
Notes
- If your cake starts to look like it is burning on top, cover it in foil and continue cooking until a skewer comes out clean.
- Add some chocolate chips to the mixture for a delicious chocolate coffee combination.
- To ensure that your cake is cooked all the way through and doesn't burn either, use an oven thermometer to make sure it gets to the correct temperature for the recipe.
- Don't over mix the batter once you add the flour and walnuts. This can cause the cake to not rise.
- For some extra flavour, add a pinch of cinnamon to the coffee loaf cake mixture.
- You could make this in to a sandwich cake by slicing it in half and putting some buttercream in between the slices and then more on top.
