Hi Sarah, I've got this one, but its a bit more a madiera type than a sponge type, it's from an absolutely ancient "Stork guide to home cooking" recipe book.....anyway, we like it:-

Coffee and Walnut cake
6 oz butter or margarine
6 oz caster sugar
1 tablespoon coffee essence
8 oz plain flour
2 level teaspoons baking powder
pinch of salt
3 eggs
1 tablespoon milk
2 oz chopped walnuts

Cream the butter and sugar and then beat in the coffee essence. Seive the flour, baking powder and salt together. Beat the eggs together. Gradually add the egg mixture to the creamed mixture, beating in thoroughly at each stage.
Add the milk, flour mixture and chopped walnuts and fold in gently.
Cook in a 7 inch tin at gas mark 3 for approx 1 and a half hours.

When cold, cut open and fill will coffee butter icing. Ice the top with the coffee butter icing as well and decorate with walnut halves.

Coffee butter icing:
3 oz butter
8 oz icing sugar
1 dessertspoon milk or water
1 dessertspoon coffee essence

Beat the butter until soft. Add half the seived icing sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add the milk/water and coffee essence with the other half of the seived icing sugar and beat until creamy.

Hope this helps

cheers

Hi, there! My recipe is similar to Bobbykins :beer: If I can, I decoarate it with chocolate coffee beans, otherwise, walnut halves. I made one just today

We have an older thread with other recipes, so I'll merge this one into it to keep all ideas together.

I've just had a look for my recipe, which I haven't made for ages, but from memory it was good.


Coffee and Walnut Cake


8oz self raising flour
2 level teaspoons baking powder

Sift into a bowl and add 2 oz of chopped walnuts.


8oz soft margarine
8oz caster sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence

Mix then blend with flour and baking powder and beat well for 1 minute to get a smooth batter.

Divide between two greased and lined 7'' sponge cake tins. Spread until level and bake in the centre of the oven at 180 degrees for 25 minutes.


Coffee fudge filling/topping:

8 oz icing sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons of instant coffee disolved in 1 teaspoon of boiling water


3 oz butter
4 oz caster sugar
4 tablespoons (60 mls) of water

- disolve in a pan and bring just to the boil before adding to the icing sugar and coffee mixture. Stir well to remove any lumps, then pour half onto each sponge cake.

You need to work quickly with this bit as the icing will begin to set if you don't.

Put the nicest looking one on top decorate with halved walnuts.
