📝 Ingredients

For the cake:

  • 200g (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 200g (1 cup) brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 200g (1½ cups) self-raising flour
  • 2 tbsp instant coffee granules (dissolved in 1 tbsp hot water)
  • 100g (¾ cup) chopped walnuts
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the coffee buttercream:

  • 150g (⅔ cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 300g (2½ cups) icing sugar
  • 1 tbsp instant coffee (dissolved in ½ tbsp hot water)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

☕ Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line two 8-inch (20 cm) round cake tins.

2. Mix the Cake Batter

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Mix in the coffee, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.

3. Add Dry Ingredients

Sift in the flour and fold gently. Stir in the chopped walnuts.

4. Bake

Divide the batter between the tins and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean. Cool in tins for 10 mins, then transfer to wire racks.

5. Make the Coffee Buttercream

Beat the butter until fluffy. Add icing sugar gradually, followed by the dissolved coffee and vanilla. Beat until smooth.

6. Assemble

Spread buttercream between the layers and over the top. Decorate with extra walnut halves if desired.

💡 Tips for the Best Coffee & Walnut Cake

  • Use strong instant coffee for maximum flavor.
  • Toast the walnuts for a deeper nutty taste.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting to avoid melting the buttercream.
