Coffee & Walnut Sponge Cake



I love coffee and walnut cake. There is something so traditional about it, it's just a classic. I made this on a whim the other day, and true to form forgot to take photos until too late again.
The cake came out light fluffy, and incredibly moist, so I will definately be making this again.



Lots of walnuts! I put more in than stated in the recipe as I am a sucker for them. They are one of the best nuts around, and I love the crunch followed by the creaminess of them, especially in a cake like this. I don't chop them up too finely either, they have got to have a bit of substance. Yum!



Everything about this cake came out great. The icing was soft and smooth with a lovely coffee aroma, and set with a nice little crisp casing which sticks to your lip when you take a bite. mmm....



This is all that's left of the cake too. It went in a flash with a cup of tea and visitors, and this sad little lonely piece is all that's left. Not for long though, as I think hubby has his eye on it.
