This cake is so simple to make and tastes really good with a cup of coffee. Surprisingly it is also good with a cup of tea as it complements the flavor of the cake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used the house decaf brew from CBTL for this recipe. Why decaf? Because I wanted to finish my pods, however am sure the caffeinated version would taste great too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the recipe I used :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/2 cup walnuts, 1 and 3\/8 cups self raising flour, 1 and 1\/2 teaspoon baking powder, 3\/4 cup softened unsalted butter, 3\/4 cup brown sugar, 2 eggs, 3 tablespoons brewed coffee. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-heat the oven to 180c. Then, toast the walnuts by spreading them on a baking sheet and placing them in the pre-heated oven for around 8 minutes. Remove them and reserve around 5 pieces for decoration. Finely chop the rest and put aside. Then mix the flour and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Now just add in all the remaining ingredients except for the coffee and the chopped walnuts. Whisk the ingredients until you have a smooth mixture. Then add the coffee and the chopped walnuts. Your mixture should be smooth and slightly thick. If it is too thick you may dilute it with a little more coffee. Put the mixture in a loaf tin and spread evenly. Decorate the top with the reserved walnuts. Bake for 30-45 mins. At around the 30 minute mark or when you notice that the cake and the walnuts are browning, cover the cake with aluminum foil and let it finish baking. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to add some more flavor to the cake you may drizzle it with chocolate sauce. I have tried this version too and it is also delicious, slightly sweeter and more moist. I think roasting the walnuts enhances its flavor and in turn gives us a more flavorful cake. And the best part is my kitchen smelled awesome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
