  I've made this a few times and everyone always loves it. I always double up the mixture and just put the icing on the top rather than in the middle. I read the other comments and put in more coffee and made less icing.

  Instead of adding 2 tablespoons of the coffee mixture I added 3 as i like a strong coffee taste x

  A lovely cake have made this a few times now, only difference I used 50ml of water and another tsp of coffee - and only had one layer of butter cream in the middle of the cake, and a layer on the top

  Great and easy to follow - but there was no way that I would have been able to cut this into 3. I would suggest either making a bit more mixture - or less icing.

  I have made this several times, but I only do two sponges and sandwich together with the coffee cream. I got advised to Camp coffee , but I found dissolved Nescafe was perfect, I added more walnuts. Again another gorgeous recipe.... Thanks

  Followed the recipe exactly, cake did not rise, no way could it be cut into 3, had trouble cutting it into 2! Very sweet but enjoyable but looked nothing like the pic.

  I tried this last night at home. A disaster. Having read previous comments about volume, I lashed in some more baking powder - but was still left with a 'cake' as high as a tenpenny piece. Just about managed to slice in two but aesthetically a disaster. The kids who are none too concerned about the visuals scoffed it - it did taste good, but I will not be making this again.

  I made this was very nice, not to intense being not a lover of coffee. I did the sponge, but put 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder in, this allowed it to rise to a good size. I did not add the nuts in the sponge, I just toasted some flaked almonds and put them on top, as I do not like walnuts. I also only did 50g butter, 100g icing sugar and enough coffee liquid for the icing, this was perfect did just the top and the sides. I did not use all the coffee liquid, do hald water with same coffee amount for strong flavour (50ml water 2tbsp coffee). Alicia

  Fabulously easy, with wickedly delicious result. Try using a cake tin a size larger than recommended and making it a single layered cake. It works a treat.

  After messing up the Icing and making to much as a result, the rest of the cake turned out fine and the icing was pretty nice. I added three tbsps of the coffee mixture and my partner said it wasn't enough and needed more coffee flavouring. The cake itself came out lovely and although I would've preferred it to have risen more I think that was more due to the width of the cake tin I used. I used less sugar than suggested by taking off 25g and it turned out fine.

  I have a terrible problem with this cake. I have followed the recipe slavishly and every time it sinks drastically. I am an experienced cook of many years and I can't understand why I can't get this cake to rise properly.
