My today's recipe is from the blog BBC GOODFOOD. Original recipe demands walnuts but i substituted cashew nuts with walnuts. You can make simple coffee cake too with icing or nuts & you can enjoy it with vanilla ice cream too . I made icing when the cake was still hot. So, icing has melted but tasted really good. I think this is the yummiest coffee cake i have ever made. Coffee lovers must try this recipe.
INGREDIENTS:-
- 85g very soft butter
- 85g golden caster sugar
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 85g self-raising flour
- 2 tsp instant coffee powder
- small handful walnut pieces (optional)
For the butter cream
- 1 tsp instant coffee powder
- 1 tsp milk
- 25g very soft butter
- 100g icing sugar
- In a medium bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Gradually add the eggs followed by the flour and instant coffee. Stir most of the walnuts/cashew nuts (if using) into the batter, reserving a few for decoration. Transfer to a microwave-proof dish
2. Cook on full power for 2 mins. Reduce the power to medium and cook for 2 mins. )After 4 mins, check to see if the cake is cooked – it should be risen and spring back when touched. If it needs a bit longer, cook on medium for 1 min more at a time, checking after each minute until the cake is cooked. Remove and allow to cool. ( here, i baked cake 5 mins on full power
3. Meanwhile, make the coffee butter cream. Dissolve the coffee in the milk, then add the butter and icing sugar. Beat until smooth, spread over the cake
4. And top with the reserved walnuts/cashew nuts.
HAPPY COOKING :))))))
