Coffee Cake
Coffee Cake
- 175g butter, softened (3/4 cup)
- 175g soft light brown sugar (3/4 cup packed, plus 1/2 TBS)
- 1 TBS strong coffee, or a few drops coffee essence
- 3 large free range eggs, lightly beaten
- 175g self raising flour (1 1/4 cups)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 110 butter, softened (1/2 cup)
- 225g icing sugar, sifted (1 3/4 cup)
- 2 TBS strong coffee, or 1 tsp coffee essence
- 80g toasted walnuts, finely chopped (2/3 cup)
- icing sugar to dust
- 8 toasted walnut halves
- Preheat the oven to 180*C/350*F/ gas mark 4. Butter two 8-inch round cake tins and line the bottoms with baking paper. Set aside.
- Sift together the flour and the baking powder. Set aside.
- Cream the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy. Beat in the coffee and then the beaten eggs a bit at a time until well incorporated. If the mixture starts to curdle, beat in a TBS of the flour, and continue. Fold in the flour. Divide the batter equally amongst the prepared baking tins, levelling it off.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until risen and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Let cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack, peeling off the paper and leaving to finish cooling.
- Beat the butter for the icing until soft and creamy. Beat in the sugar and the coffee, only adding as much coffee as needed to give you a thick spreadable/pipeable icing. Remove about 4 TBS of icing and set aside. Stir the chopped walnuts into the remainder of the icing.
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread the walnut icing over to cover. (It will be a nice thick layer) Top with the other cake layer. Lay 4 skewers on top in a criss cross manner. Sift icing sugar over top and then carefully remove the skewers. You should have the cake marked now into 8 servings.
- Into each serving section, pipe a rosette of the plain coffee icing and top with a toasted walnut half. Store any remainders in a covered container.
