I am currently at home for a few days this week, so I thought that me and mumma could bake a cake (our personal favourite) and write a little blog post about it! We had a lovely morning shopping for ingredients and picking a cake.
We decided to bake a Coffee and Walnut cake, which I am sure is not very popular amongst people who don't like to drink coffee, but I don't even like to drink coffee myself, but the flavour of coffee is something I adore in cakes, ice creams and all treats!
We used a Cake Recipe from BBC Good Food, as we don't really have lots of old family baking recipes, its a new thing that I think our little generation is going to begin. I'll post a link to the recipe below!
Ingredients
For the cake
250g of pack softened butter
100ml of strong black coffee (made with 2tbsp coffee granules), cooled.
280g of self-raising flour
250g of caster sugar
Half a tsp of baking powder
4 eggs
1tsp of vanilla extract
85g of Walnuts, finely chopped
For the filling
100g of icing sugar, sifted, plus a little extra for dusting
150ml of double cream
100g of mascarpone, at room temperature
Set your oven to 180C or 160C for a fan operated oven.
You can find the method online, it is the most simple recipe, you pretty much have to beat the ingredients all together using an electric mixture until its light and fluffy, and then bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden.
Then you make your filling, and add this to cake once it is cooled!
This is the finished product, its a pretty enormous cake!
very excited to get down and eat it!
hope you enjoyed this post,
muchos love
