Though they're not favourite, walnuts seem to keep re-appearing in my cupboard. Is my cupboard now start producing walnuts? Or could I possibly, subconsciously actually like walnuts? Or have I been reading too much Freud? Who knows.
Anyway, the important thing is, this coffee and walnut layer cake is delicious; and the beauty of this cake, everything is done in a food processor. The coffee and walnut sponge is soft and moist, and I love the coffee infused buttercream. The recipe calls for instant espresso powder, but if you don't have any, simply replace it with instant coffee granules dissolved in boiling water.
I'm gonna be away in Manchester for a work conference, so I shall catch up with your delicious posts sometime in the weekend. Enjoy the rest of your week. Have a great one.

ReplyDeleteThat cake looks good, it's taken me years to like walnuts, I'm just about there! I love coffee cake though, always used to scrape the walnuts off!
ReplyDeletehope you had a good week... I actually prefer pecans, native thing I guess, but there are some things that only walnuts will suffice in... this looks to be one
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cake! I hope you are getting to love beautiful fresh walnuts! Enjoy your work conference.
ReplyDeleteWalnuts are so good for you, maybe your subconscious is buying them for your health? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe cake looks glorious.
Hahaha. Walnut tend to do that back in my days. Actually, walnut is the worst keep of them all nuts. I'm gonna post up a strictly traditional walnut pesto recipe soon. Maybe on the weekend too. (time for walnut hunting!). Nice looking cake btw.

ReplyDeleteStrange, I keep finding walnuts in my freezer... maybe there's something going on with my freezer and your pantry?? :)
ReplyDeleteDid you say coffee infused butter cream frosting? Oh, yea, I'll have the whole cake please!! Looks wonderful, Michael!
Enjoy your week too.. hope the conference isn't too lame :)
I love a coffee walnut cake and this one looks great, I've never tried this recipe but I may well do now. Gorgeous looking layer cake. x
ReplyDeleteMichael, I believe you have a walnut fetish but you're in denial...LOL. In any case, this coffee and walnut cake looks ah-mazing and I can't quite comprehend how that can be so when the batter is just all churned up in a food processor!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous looking cake. Unlike you, I openly love walnuts. Try storing in the fridge, it'll stop them going rancid and they might not multiply as quickly either. ;)
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful job you have done - such a cozy treat, super yum!
ReplyDeleteWalnuts disappear from my cupboard way too fast - I love them! What a glorious sight this cake is - wish I had a piece! Hope your week goes well!
ReplyDeleteDidn't know that you would even read Freud ;-) The coffee layered cake looks divine!
ReplyDeleteThat cake is lovely. I love the idea of the coffee infused frosting. I think I would replace with walnuts with hazelnut since that's my favorite coffee flavor. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLovely! She demonstrated this dish at the Melbourne Food and Wine festival and it looks wonderful! :D
ReplyDeleteKeep reading cookbooks and stay away from Freud. He is just kooky.
