  I made this cake for a friend who comes round on a Friday. I have to say that I only made two layers, anyway she loved it. I made another one on Saturday, and my daughter came round on Sunday and asked if she could take three slices home. My other daughters boyfriend came to stay and the rest of the cake vanished. So a big thumbs up for this lovely cake.

  The recipe was way too sugary and the icing tasted way too buttery but not in a good way. Fatty, greasy, the whole thing was a bit icky.

  I made this cake for a friends birthday. As others have said, it did not rise enought to slice into 3 but i just halved the cake and this worked well. I probably added a bit extra coffee and extra walnuts in the sponge. It was quite moist (buttery) when the cake came out but it did tot end up affecting the final result. The icing was delicious and again i upped the coffee to my liking. It was very hard not to eat all of the icing left on the bowl and mixers! Got lots of compliements on this - think i will try the recipe as cupcakes next :0)

  Delicious. Although, next time I'll leave the cake cool longer before I ice it. Tastes scrumptious.

  This cake is amazing. I've never been a fan of coffee but can tolerate it in a cake. I wouldn't have been able to cut the cake into 3 so just cut it in half, it seemed to work just as well. The cake was too big for just my husband and I, so I sent him into his work with half of it.

  I was going to give this a whirl tomorrow, do you think it would be ok splitting the mixture between two 20cm tins?

  I made these as cup cakes and mistakenly put all of the walnuts in but still tasted absolutely gorgeous, also used expresso coffee for a stronger flavour. Will make again.

  Lovely cake, went down well with everyone - coffee drinkers, non-coffee drinkers & kids. I made it as a tray-bake with icing just on the top. It's quite a small recipe so doesn't make much; you may want to double it if making layers.

  Me and my 3yr old daughter Storm made this but as we had seen most of you struggle cutting it we made extra mixture and used 3 baking tins, worked a treat no problems with cutting it we also decided to ice all round the outside as made too much, yep everyone loved us they thought it was fantastic, only problem is they want us making them all the time now!!

  This cake bakes lovely but even after doubling up strength of coffee I still struggled to taste it. Perhaps I need stronger coffee!

  I made this last night and it wasn't overly successful! The taste of the cake is lovely but certainly not enough batter to make three layers, I could only get two and even now it's still thin! It did rise properly so not sure what went wrong. I would recommend doubling the mixture, but not the butter icing.

  I made 2 of these in 24cm tins and sandwiched them together as pictured, was the best cake I have ever made, so light and fluffy. Great comments from my friends.
