Coffee Walnut Cake

Walnuts, coffee, and butter are classic combinations.

There are many recipes for a coffee walnut cake, that has walnut butter cake and coffee buttercream. โAnyway, for today I wanted to eat this cake but I didn't want to eat buttercream, so I had to make some adaptations to suit my mood. 

I turned the classic cake into a very nutty cake instead and yes, I added coffee into the cake batter instead of using the buttercream

The result, ^^ I got a nutty coffee butter cake that I think it's very delicious, haha.

Well, if you love butter cake I think that you will love this cake too.

I drizzled the cake with coffee icing that you can omit, but I really recommend you to make it, it's easy to make, and when eating it with the cake and chopped walnuts, the cake is more yummy.

If you don't have the same pans as me you can use an 18x18 cm pan instead (but the baking will be a bit different).
