Coffee walnut cake with coffee mascarpone frosting
For the cake
Ingredients
225 gms unsalted butter
225 gms brown sugar
225 gms plain flour
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
4 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
2 tbsp sifted coffee powder
100 gms chopped walnuts.
Method
1) Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
2) Add eggs one at a time until well combined. Add in vanilla essence.
3) Pour in milk and gently whisk.
4) Sift dry ingredients into the bowl - plain flour, baking powder, baking soda and coffee powder and fold with a spatula.
5) Coat walnuts with 1 tbsp of plain flour and then fold in the cake batter. (This will prevent the walnuts from sinking to the bottom of the tin)
Bake in preheated oven (180D C) for about 45 to 50 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
for the frosting
Ingredients
115 gms unsalted butter
225 gms sifted icing sugar
2 tbsp coffee powder
120 gms mascarpone cheese
Method
1) Beat unsalted butter for a minute.
2) Add in sifted icing sugar and coffee powder and beat well.
4) Add in mascarpone cheese and beat well.
(If your frosting is too stiff, you can add 1 tsp of milk)
Cool cake completely before frosting. If your cakes rises too much you may get a dome, cut off the top a wee bit.
for the sugar syrup
4 tbsp powdered sugar
1 cup water
Make sugar syrup of 4 tbsp of powdered sugar to 1 cup water and stir till sugar dissolves.
Place your cake on a cake bite. Using a silicon brush, Drizzle some sugar syrup on each layer of the cake, this keeps it nice and moist.
Keep some of the frosting aside which will later be used for piping on top of the cake.
Spread a generous amount of the frosting and spread evenly. Repeat for every layer.
Spread some of the frosting on the sides of the cake this does not need to be neat.
Using a round tip nozzle, pipe some of the frosting on top of the cake. You can make whichever design you’d like.
You can also alternate with chocolate ganache and then with mascarpone frosting to give it a contrasting look.
Note: If you do not like a strong flavour of coffee then reduce the amount of coffee powder in the cake and frosting by half a teaspoon; if you like a strong flavour then increase it by half a teaspoon.
Best had at room temperature. Store in an air tight container on the fridge. This will prevent it from drying out. This cake will keep fresh for a week in the fridge and for 2 to 3 days at room temperature depending on your climate.
Cut slices and enjoy.

Looks like the next cake I am baking! Heavily loaded with butter. But a slice (or two) each should not harm, right? Thank you for the recipe. 🌺

Please sure do. It's a lovely recipe. Thank you for subscribing.

[@the.cockney.moocher3676]

Nice cake , would of been nice to see the inside after it was cut at the end, looks amazing 👏

[@SammysCakery]

Thank you Paul... Il keep that in mind for another similar cake. 😊

[@andreafernandes3193]

So yum 😋. I want you to make this for me when I come home. 😬 Do you mix the walnuts in flour before you put them in the batter?

[@SammysCakery]

Andrea Fernandes of course I will. Yes I mix it with a tbsp of flour. 😊 happy baking

[@jennyramrattan803]

Hi thanks for yr lovely recipes but can I also make one cake and cut it into 2. Thanks God bless

[@SammysCakery]

jenny ramrattan hi Jenny, I’m not sure I understood your question? Do you mean two halves?

[@josephinefong398]

Sammy's Cakery what’s she meant is one cake but cut in between instead of separating the cake 🤔🤔

[@jennyramrattan803]

Yes thats what I wanted to know if you can make one cake and cut it in two halves would work out d same way as in your receipe? Thanks

[@SammysCakery]

Yes you can surely do that. Cut it in two instead of 4 layers. Hope you like the cake. 😊

[@maduraimeenakshi1]

Beautiful cake, very tempting!! But, can I substitute heavy cream instead of butter for the frosting ?

[@SammysCakery]

No you can't.. Cream will taste odd and won't give the same consistency.

[@ramnid4916]

Hi sammy. Just one suggestion. Can you please provide the measurement in cups too for people like me. Weighing in grams in not possible for us

[@SammysCakery]

Sure.. Il keep that in mind for future videos. Thanks for stopping by.

[@deliciouscakes8355]

Super Recipe sissy. But can you give 1 cup scale?

[@SammysCakery]

jaganathan rajavelu Converting to cups will be difficult coz everyone’s cup measurements are different. You can check online for conversions. 😊

Sammy's Cakery Hello! I’m making this today! Any tips for the icing? I’m bad at icing but I’ve only started baking for around 4 months!

[@sweetanzu2231]

Sammy's Cakery another question! Can I omit the walnuts?

[@gkyong3556]

Hi Sam... what do mean by powder coffee? can i use coffee beans ground into powder?

[@SammysCakery]

Hi Gayle, yes surely you can. . Happy baking. Let me know how it turns out

[@20053633]

No don't do that, coffee beans are not edible! Buy instant coffee granules and grind them up instead..

[@SammysCakery]

Hi Daminda, coffee grounds consumed in moderation is all right.. Too much is not good. The amount used for this recipe is quite less.. But you could always buy instant granules and grind that up too..to err on the safer side . 😊

[@mandaqu]

No you can’t get the result from ground coffee

[@boxingforselfdefence7620]

I want to use real coffee rather than granulated. Any thoughts, add 2-4 tbsps cold expresso to sponge instead?

[@SammysCakery]

Yes, you can add it to the cake batter.

can i substitute mascarpone cheese to cream cheese?

[@SammysCakery]

Hi, yes surely you can.. ☺

[@karengeorge2884]

Just very curious, how did you manage to get such a flat sponge. My cakes always dome. 😕

[@SammysCakery]

Hi Karen, thanks for stopping by... There are a number of reasons why a cake gets a dome shape.... Oven is too hot, placed the cake tin at a higher level in the oven, overfilled the cake tin... Check few of these and see if it changes the way the cake turns out. Happy baking. 😀

Hi Saima 😊

Use a baking belt or baking strip

[@lilleong5741]

I only used one 8” baking tin and the maximum height of the cake is only about the height of your single baking tin. Any reason for this? Thanks

[@SammysCakery]

You can use smaller tins... Or use 2 of 8" Tins.

You can keep it in an ac room for a day or two... Shouldn't go bad.

Eggs are compulsory??

[@SammysCakery]

Seema Savaria foR this cake, yes eggs are required. Will be posting one without eggs soon.

[@lilleong5741]

The cake is crumbly during the slicing of the layers of the cake and also during eating. Do l need to add more butter into this recipe?

[@SammysCakery]

No you don't need to. Refrigerate the cake overnight and then cut.

Can I add white sugar instead of brown sugar? What is the difference in both of them from taste perspective in cake?

[@SammysCakery]

Hi Ramni, not for this cake. The brown sugar has a different taste, texture and aroma while baking. Using only white sugar will change the taste completely. Brown sugar has molasses in it, thus giving it it's colour and taste. Happy baking.

[@shantanuwadadar]

raw eggs?
