- This classic cake has remained on the menus in tea and coffee shops in Britain for many years, and has been made famous everywhere else since being featured on the Great British Bake Off.
There are three steps to this cake:
1. Baking the sponges
2. Making the buttercream
3. Assembly
INGREDIENTS
CAKE:
6oz / 1½ stick salted butter (room temperature)
1 cup light brown sugar
3 large eggs (room temperature)
Cooled coffee (1 tablespoon coffee & 2 tablespoons water)
1½ cups self raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup chopped walnuts
6-8 walnut halves for decorating
FROSTING:
4 oz / 1 stick salted butter (room temperature)
1¼ cup powdered sugar
Cooled coffee (1 tablespoon coffee & 2 tablespoons water)
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C. Grease and line two round diameter baking tins (an 8 inch tin is recommended for the right thickness of cake)
2. Beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Then beat in the eggs and coffee small amounts at a time.
3. Sift in the flour and baking powder, blend together. Then using a spatula, fold in the chopped walnuts.
4. Divide the mixture between the two baking tins, smooth over the surface.
5. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and place onto a wire cooling rack.
6. Prepare the frosting as the cakes are cooling. Beat the butter until it is soft, then add in the sugar. Beat, add coffee and continue beating until light and fluffy.
7. Spread the frosting evenly on top of one cake. Place the other cake on top of the frosted cake to form a sandwich. Smooth the remaining frosting over the top of the cake. Use the walnut halves to decorate the top.
This cake will keep fresh for 2-3 days if kept in a cool place in an airtight container. The unfrosted cakes can be wrapped in cling wrap and frozen if you want to make ahead and frost in the future.

Fantastic. Would be nice to have measurements in Metric rather than Imperial though (especially as it's a British recipe). Can't wait to make this!

I'm so glad you found the recipe you were looking for. Thanks for watching😊
Coffee and walnut cake was one of the 1st things I learned to bake as an adult. I'm not sure middle school cooking lessons count, right 😉?
It's always been a firm favourite with all of my family, even the none coffee drinkers love this one. There's something magical about how the rich buttery walnuts temper the bitterness of the coffee - nothing short of alchemy.
In all my years of making it, I've never made buttercream topping though - I think that's because I grew up in a household with 2 diabetic parents. I usually go with whipped cream topping, which is probably equally fattening, but easier on the blood sugar. I might just give the buttercream a try next time though, yours looked so tempting.
Thanks for posting this. I think I know what my next weekend bake will be 🙂
Thanks for watching and commenting. I agree the walnuts and coffee are a magical combination! Do let me know what you think of the buttercream version when you try it😊
Wow! New sub here! I recently made Coffee Cake on my page too and *your dish looks amazing!* Hope to stay connected! 😀
Thanks for watching, and taking the time out to comment. I’ve just enjoyed watching your coffee cake recipe - the American version looks great! Definitely stay connected:)
As you say this is a British recipe why are ingredients not in grams?
I live in the States, so cups are a standard measurement here. There are many sites that provide conversion tables. This is one I use quite often. You may find it helpful too:

I made this and my batter was enough for one pan only. I don't know what I did wrong 😞
I used two 8 inch round baking pans for this recipe, and although the batter looks shallow initially, the cakes do rise when baked. So any pans any larger than this would be too big. I will add that into the description for clarity. Thanks for your feedback😊
I tried to make this cake three times (trying to get it right for a friend’s birthday) but each time it didn’t rise. My baking powder is fresh. Not sure what’s happening, I followed the recipe well. The taste is good though just not the look/density
Hi Maria, If you've double-checked all the main steps in your process such as ensuring the butter and sugar are creamed until fluffy, you are using room temperature ingredients, and you are not overmixing and your cake still isn't rising as expected, then consider adding a pinch of baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) along with the coffee. I suggest this as baking soda reacts with the acidity of the coffee and produces carbon dioxide gas, and that helps the cake rise. This slight adjustment might be what you need to achieve the lightness and lift you're looking for in your cake. Hope it helps, let me know!😊
Do have to put in nuts.
It will alter the texture but you can certainly remove the nuts, and enjoy it as a coffee cake😊
