  This was soooo good. All the ingredients of a classic Coffee & walnut cake but put together in a modern way. Well worth the calories!

  The recipe is wrong !! It tells you to reserve 1 tbsp coffee but when u come to make the filling it tells you to add the 2 tbps of coffee. For the cake it says to fold in the chopped walnuts then tells u to sprinkle the chopped walnuts on one half of the cake ??

  The cake by itself is really good, but for one reason or another the filling was a bit challenging and failed to fluff up! I recommend the cake, but not the filling.

  I loved this cake it was easy to make and was not as strong as some coffee and walnut cakes which I find can be a bit overpowering - scrummy!

  This cake was delicious, especially the coffee cream! Usually I find coffee and walnut cake is too overpowered by strong coffee and not enough walnuts, but this was just right. The only thing I'd change next time is drizzling the coffee over one layer of the cake. To me it spoiled that layer, although others who tasted it said they liked it.

  The cake is excellent but the filling didn't work, I think the measurements are wrong too sloppy.

  It all worked very well for me and is quite subtle. All I would say is make sure you spread out the cake mixture evenly in the tin as it is quite solid before cooking. My cake ended a little uneven so I had to slice some off in the middle to keep it even.

  made the cake very good, but we live in the Canary Islands and I had to put it in the fridge as I was worried about the filling, in the heat which we have here which I think and made the cake go a bit hard as any one got any suggestions on how to keep the cake in heat.
