Yield Cuts into 10 slices

Number Of Ingredients 11

200g caster sugar
200g softened butter
4 eggs , beaten
200g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
15 walnut halves
2 heaped tbsp instant coffee , dissolved in 1 tbsp boiling water
500g pot mascarpone
85g light muscovado sugar
4 tbsp Tia Maria
a few toasted walnut halves, for decoration

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Butter two 20cm sandwich tins and line with non-stick baking paper. Toast the walnut halves in the oven for 10 mins. Reserve 10 and chop the rest. Dissolve the instant coffee in 1 tbsp of boiling water, cool and add the basic cake mix (see recipe for Classic Victoria sponge, right), instead of the milk.
  • For the filling, beat the mascarpone with the light muscovado sugar and Tia Maria until smooth. Sandwich the cooled cakes with a third of the filling and the chopped walnuts.
  • Cover the top and sides of the cake with the rest of the filling and decorate the top with the toasted walnut halves.
