Coffee Walnut Cake

Recently my cravings for cake have led me to try out different recipes. Some I wouldn’t necessarily have tried. This week’s cake was to be a Coffee Walnut cake. I love coffee so what was there to wait for? When I got to the stage where you add the walnuts to the sponge batter, I realised I didn’t have any. I decided to substitute with some leftover pecans. The texture of the cake was light, airy and moist. I sandwiched the two layers together with a coffee butter cream and poured over a rich coffee glaze icing and sprinkled with chopped pecans. So evidently I used too much icing but I thought it looked beautiful and rustic, even if it was a little messy. This cake went down well with the fiancé’s family.
