Gaby's Bakery - Coffee & Walnut Cake

A client friend of mine mentioned one day that his favourite cake was coffee and walnut. My first efforts were sped round to his offices, and he wasn’t disappointed. This is now my birthday cake treat for him each year.

Coffee & Walnut Cake

Ingredients:
175gms self raising flour
175gms unsalted butter
175gms sugar
50gms walnuts
3 eggs
4 tbsp instant coffee dissolved in 1 tbsp boiled water (leave to cool)

Frosting
250gms mascarpone cheese
3 tbsp icing sugar
1 tbsp coffee essence (or an espresso shot)

Walnuts to decorate

Method:
Preheat oven to 160⁰C

Grease and line a 2lb cake tin. Beat the eggs and sugar together and then add the eggs - one at a time, beating in between. Then add the flour and coffee and continue to beat. Fold in the walnuts. Transfer to the prepared cake tin and bake for 50-60 mins, until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Take out and leave to cool on a wire rack.

Once the cake has completely cooled, prepare the frosting by beating all the ingredients together. To frost, either spread the frosting over the top of the cake, or chose a piping nozzle and be as creative as you like.

I make these into small loafs as well. If you have silicone moulds, carry out all steps as about, but reduce cooking tome to appx. 13-18 mins depending on their size.

Enjoy.

Michael says that a full serving of sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice-cream is just too much of a sugar-rush. Here's a bite-sized twist with a buttercream topping that still melds all the oozing tastes and textures without the pump and dump mood swing.

I love long hair. But sometimes you can have too much of a good thing, and if it’s not cut properly it can drown the wearer and make shampoo-days a dreaded event. Tara had gorgeous hair but the haircut had no shape. Just the usual...

I don’t normally start by showing the back. But the breakage and damage was so bad that the entire top portion at the back had snapped off. Kazz had been paying a lot for hair colouring and for regular Olaplex treatments over the years. Yet her extremely damaged hair quality was something I regularly see. Unnecessarily weak thin broken hair, and dull colour.
