Mr Squirrel's b'day on Sunday ... the only bit of baking I do willingly throghout the year is his cake. He is - reassuringly - very low maintenance, so I must oblige and make a good job of it. This year he has requested coffee and walnut and I can't find a suitable recipe in the (limited number) of books I've got.
If anyone has a tried and tested family favourite of this ilk that you would be willing to share, please could you email / post it to me? I know there will be stuff on t'internet, but I'd prefer a "favourite" recipe if possible.
Yours in cake-fuelled gratitide ...
Email Stu at http://www.dalesbikecentre.co.uk/ & ask what Brenda does with hers!
****in yummmy!
"Mary berry's foolproof cakes" has an awesome one called "hokey pokey coffee cake". Not got the recipe to hand sadly but it's dead easy to do and yummy
Thanks - will look into both of these.
But going to give this [url= http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/type-of-dish/party-food/austrian-coffee-and-walnut-cake-with-coffee-cream.html ]one[/url] a go!
the very best cake in the world and yes, the delia one above definitely!
Just struggling to get the 8% fromage frais now ... Tesco doesn't have any 🙁
will a slice still be going on the classifieds? 😉
For sure, although you'll have to keep looking, as it won't last long! 😆 Perhaps I should do it as an auction.
Just got the fromage frais ... had to settle for 0% fat, so it'll be a healthy cake to boot!!!

Not bad ... topping needs more sugar but toasted walnuts are lovely 😆
