Oman today_ Planning to host a Christmas party and want to give your dessert spread a hearty twist? Ditch the usual plum cake or rum cake and try this simple yet exotic coffee walnut cake that can be made at home with minimal effort. Follow the step-by-step recipe below and enjoy!
Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 2 tsp instant coffee powder, 1 tsp cocoa powder, 1 tsp vanilla essence, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, A pinch of salt, 1/2 cup walnuts, 1/2 cup milk
Instructions:
Step 1: Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and brown sugar until the mixture turns smooth and frothy.
Step 3: In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee powder in a little hot water and set it aside to cool. This will add a rich coffee flavor to the cake.
Step 4: Whisk the butter and cooled coffee mixture together until smooth. Add the dry ingredients, cocoa powder, and vanilla essence to this mixture.
Step 5: Combine the egg batter with the butter and coffee mixture. Whisk everything together until the batter becomes thick and creamy. Grease a baking tin or tray.
Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared tin, sprinkle the walnuts on top, and use a spatula to even out the surface. Bake in a preheated oven at 180–200°C for 30–40 minutes.
Step 7: Check the cake with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. Garnish as desired and serve warm with tea, coffee, or a dollop of ice cream or chocolate ganache. Enjoy your homemade coffee walnut cake!
