  Sorry cant say I liked this cake, first time I made it I thought I'd done something wrong as it was so flat, the second time I made it for a family party & had forgotten the previous results I was so disappointed when I made it that I started from scratch with another recipe that tastes & looks better.

  Disappointing - it didn't rise except a little in the middle. Normally I make sponge cakes that have 100g each of sugar, flour and butter/margarine, and pour the mixture into two cake tins - they both rise more than this did with less than half the ingredients per tin than this recipe called for. I shall avoid using a single cake tin for a gateau, and stick with my usual recipe.

  Made this cake strictly to the recipe and it was rubbish. There was not enough mixture to make 3 layers, 2 was even a struggle. The flavour was mainly walnut, even with the recommended amount of coffee, the actual cake flavour was bland. The texture was very dry and crumbly. I would avoid this recipe as no aspect worked at all.

  First time making a coffee and walnut cake for my Dad's 50th and it turned out great! I did manage to cut it into three layers easily and there was enough of the icing. I think next time I will use smaller walnut pieces in the cake mixture as I found the larger pieces made the cake a bit crumbly. The icing was lovely, not too coffee-y. I will definitely keep this recipe!

  Nice and easy to make. Found it difficult to cut into three layers,so stayed with two. Amazing butter icing. Loved by my coffee loving husband
