This is a wonderfully moist cake with the perfect texture, crumbly and dense but not too heavy. It's definitely flavoursome - too flavoursome for me in fact, I'm not a fan of coffee cake. Hubster is a fan, a huge fan, this cake was made for his birthday. Thankfully he loves it, he's eaten most of it all to himself as it seems our Smalls agree with me.
Ingredients:
8 Eggs
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
450g Self Raising Flour
450g Golden Caster Sugar
850g Butter
800g Icing Sugar
200g Walnuts
5 Dessert Spoons Coffee Powder

Re-arrange the cake tin and re-coat it with non stick cooking spray.

Here's my cooled cakes ready for decorating.
Next mix 800g icing sugar and 400g of butter with a dessert spoon full of coffee.
Beat well.
And spread evenly over the cake.
Crush the walnuts and sprinkle them over the top of the cake.
Like so.
