Coffee & Walnut Torte

Serves 8

3 Tbsp. Instant coffee

2 Tbsp. Water

350gr. Butter, room temperature

350gr. Brown Sugar

5 Eggs, room temperature

1 Tbsp. Vanilla Extract

180gr. Cake Flour

1 tsp. Baking Powder

250gr. Walnuts, roughly chopped

250gr. Almond Flour

 

Method:

Dissolve the coffee granules in the water to form a thick paste and set aside.

Start by creaming the butter and sugar together; now start adding the eggs one at a time.

Start adding the flour and baking powder. Once incorporated remove the mixing bowl from the mixer and add the vanilla extract and coffee mixture – and stir before adding the nuts.

Spoon the mixture into a prepared cake tin and bake in a pre-heated oven of 160ºC for 75 minutes.

Remove from the oven, allow to cool and decorate with chocolate ganache and fresh berries or chocolate bark.
