Coffee & Walnut Cake

Coffee & Walnut cake is a staple classic in most recipe collections. Our version is made up of three soft layers of sponge, sandwiched and topped with a creamy coffee buttercream, the ideal cake of choice to serve at any coffee morning with friends and family. It is also a favourite for those rainy days when you just want to whip out your apron and bake something yummy.
