Description

Imagine a slice of coffee and walnut cake, its aroma a comforting blend of roasted nuts and rich coffee. This version offers a delightful twist on the familiar classic, maintaining all the beloved flavors while introducing a wonderfully delicate texture. Ground almonds replace traditional flour, creating a crumb that is surprisingly light and airy, almost melting in your mouth with each bite.

The coffee flavor is pronounced yet balanced, providing a warm, inviting base that is perfectly complemented by the earthy, slightly bitter notes of the walnuts. Each mouthful delivers a satisfying contrast between the soft, tender cake and the satisfying crunch of the chopped walnuts, ensuring a textural experience that keeps you coming back for more. This cake is more than just a sweet treat; it's an experience.

The subtle sweetness enhances the natural flavors of the coffee and walnuts without being overpowering, allowing the nuanced flavors to truly shine. Whether you're enjoying a quiet moment alone or sharing it with loved ones, this cake is the perfect accompaniment to a hot cup of coffee or tea. Picture yourself curled up with a slice on a cool evening, the warm flavors enveloping you in a sense of comfort and contentment.

This coffee and walnut cake is a testament to the fact that you don't have to sacrifice flavor or texture when seeking a lighter alternative to traditional baking. It’s a cake that caters to a range of palates, from those who appreciate the simplicity of classic flavors to those who are looking for a more mindful indulgence. The nutty aroma fills the kitchen as it bakes, promising a treat that is as pleasing to the senses as it is to the taste buds.

Enjoy a slice and experience the comforting flavors of coffee and walnut in a whole new way. The suggested sweetener, xylitol, can easily be substituted with erythritol for those who prefer it.

Instructions

    1.
    Add the ground almonds and baking soda to a mixing bowl and stir well to combine. Reserve to one side.
    2.
    Warm ¼ cup of almond milk and stir in 1 tablespoon of coffee. Reserve to one side to cool completely.
    3.
    Add 1 cup of butter and 1 cup of xylitol to a large mixing bowl and beat well until smooth and creamy.
    4.
    Preheat the oven to 340 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease 2 x 15cm loose bottomed cake tins.
    5.
    Beat the eggs in to the butter mixture one at a time until smooth.
    6.
    Add the vanilla extract, lemon juice and cooled coffee to the mixture and gently stir through.
    7.
    Fold the dry ingredients a little at a time into the wet batter, mixing gently until fully combined.
    8.
    Divide the cake mixture evenly between the two cake tins and arrange side by side in the center of the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden on top and a skewer comes out clean.
    9.
    Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven to cool in their tins for 15 minutes before removing from the tins to cool completely.
    10.
    Whilst the cakes are cooling you can make the buttercream. Heat 1 tablespoon of almond milk and stir in 2 teaspoons of coffee. Reserve to one side to cool.
    11.
    Add 2/3 of a cup of xylitol to a food processor and blend until powdered – about 5 minutes.
    12.
    Add 2/3 cup of butter to the powdered xylitol and blend together until smooth – about 3 minutes.
    13.
    With the blender on a slow speed, slowly pour the cold coffee into the mixture a little at a time until fully combined.
    14.
    Using a knife or spatula, divide the buttercream evenly and spread across the top of both the cakes.
    15.
    Stack the cakes on top of each other and serve as it is or decorate with extra walnuts.
