Directions

Cook Mode (Keep screen awake)

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Grease a cake pan with butter and sprinkle it with flour.
In a bowl, beat the butter well with the sugar until smooth.
Add the eggs, one by one and continue beating.
Add the flour mixed with the baking powder and coffee and stir again.
Finally add the ground walnut and re-mix everything until it is well incorporated.
Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake for about 45 minutes, or until cooked (test the toothpick).
Once baked, remove from the oven, allow it to cool slightly, unmold and let it cool completely.
Cut the cake in half so you get two slices and put aside.

Filling / Icing:

Heat a pan with the sugar, coffee and cream stirring constantly until thick and creamy.
Add a layer of the cream on top of the bottom half of the cake, place the top half of the cake on top and spread the rest of the cream on it.
Garnish with the walnuts and serve.

Recipe Tips

•

To enhance the flavor of the coffee in the cake, dissolve the instant coffee in a small amount of hot water before adding it to the batter. This will help release the coffee's full flavor and aroma.

•

When incorporating the crushed walnuts, reserve a handful to sprinkle on top of the cake before baking. This will not only add a nice texture but also create an appealing visual when the cake is served.

•

Avoid overmixing the batter once you add the flour. Overmixing can lead to a dense cake. Mix just until the flour is incorporated, and you see no dry spots for a light and fluffy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute the heavy cream in the icing with a lighter option?

Yes, you can substitute the heavy cream with a lighter option such as half-and-half or whole milk. However, keep in mind that the icing may not be as rich and creamy.

How should I store leftover Walnut and Coffee Cake?

To store leftover cake, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container. It can be kept at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for about a week.

What can I use if I don't have instant coffee on hand?

If you don't have instant coffee, you can use brewed coffee instead. Use about 1/4 cup of strong brewed coffee in the cake batter and icing, but adjust the other liquids accordingly to maintain the correct batter consistency.

Recommended Drink Pairings

Wine

Portuguese: Madeira Wine - The rich, nutty flavors of Madeira complement the walnuts and coffee in the cake beautifully.

General: Tawny Port - Tawny Port's sweet and complex notes enhance the dessert's sweetness and coffee notes.

Beer
