Steps:

  • Grease and line the bases of two 20-cm/8-inch sandwich tins preheat the oven to 180C/gas mark 4.
  • Cream together the butter and muscovado sugar until pale and fluffy. Gradually add the eggs, beating well after each addition. Beat in the coffee.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder into the mixture, then fold in lightly and evenly with a metal spoon. Fold in the walnut pieces.
  • Divide the mixture between the prepared cake tins and smooth level. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and springy to the touch. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
  • For the frosting, beat together the butter, icing sugar, coffee and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and creamy.
  • Use about half the mixture to sandwich the cakes together, then spread the remaining frosting on top and swirl with a pallet knife (optional) decorate with walnut halves.
