Douwe Egberts Coffee and Walnut Cake Recipe

Douwe Egberts Coffee and Walnut Cake Recipe. Great for Afternoon Tea. Hello friends, so how are you today?

Something lovely about the smell of warm coffee being made. Especially the smell of coffee around the kitchen, cooking.

I can eat coffee cake and coffee chocolates all day but have never drunk any cups of coffee myself!!

Douwe Egberts Coffee and Walnut Cake Recipe:

Douwe Egberts Coffee and Walnut Cake Recipe. When I was pregnant, many moons ago with my 2nd child, I use to crave coffee cake.

I use to visit a sweet little coffee shop in our little town to buy a piece and hide myself away eating it!

I never made myself one as I would have eaten it all to myself as my husband is not a coffee fan. So today I am sharing this yummy Douwe Egberts Coffee and Walnut Cake.

Fancy trying some? A nice little slice to hide away with and eat.

Douwe Egberts Coffee and Walnut Cake: Afternoon Tea:

Serves 8-10 | Prep time 30 minutes | Cooking time 20-25 minutes

Ingredients:

• 225g unsalted butter
• 225g golden caster sugar
• 4 medium eggs, beaten
• 3 tbsp Douwe Egberts Pure Gold granules dissolved in 1 tbsp boiling water
• 225g self-raising flour, sifted with 1 tsp baking powder
• 75g shelled walnut halves, chopped plus 8-10 walnut halves for decoration

For The Coffee Icing:

• 200g icing sugar sifted
• 200g unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp coffee Douwe Egberts Pure Gold dissolved in 2 tbsp hot water
• A little Demerara sugar, to decorate

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/ Gas 4. Grease and base line 2 x 20cm sandwich tins with parchment.
2. Cream the butter and sugar together with an electric whisk or wooden spoon until pale in colour, light and fluffy in texture. 
3. Slowly add the beaten egg beating well after each addition. If it curdles add 1-3 tbsp of the measured out the flour.
4. Fold in the remaining flour along with the dissolved coffee. Carefully fold in the nuts then divide the mixture between the two prepared times. Tap the cakes gently on the work surface to remove any air bubbles.
5. Bake the cake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until well risen and golden brown.
6. Leave in the tins to cool a little before transferring to a cooling tray. Once cold remove the parchment paper.
7. Meanwhile, make the filling by creaming the butter, coffee and icing sugar together in a bowl until soft.
8. Place one cake onto a serving plate upside down. With a palette knife spread half the icing over it and put on the remaining top. Paddle the icing over the top and decorate with the walnut halves. Sprinkle with the Demerara sugar to give a sparkly effect.
