  Made this at christmas and everyone who had a slice enjoyed it - including my 2 year old nephew. Coffee and children don't seem to mix!? Very nice cake indeed.

  I've tried this cake many times though it was from a different recipe book it was the same thing. It tdid have a different icing though and i have tried both of them the glaze and the icing it tastes extremely good. Here are the recipes. Coffee Icing Ingredients 1. 125g/5oz of Butter 2. 275g/10oz Icing Sugar 3. 3 5ml teaspoons of Coffee dissolved in 3 15ml tablespoons of hot water. Method 1. Beat the Butter and Icing Sugar well until creamy. 2. Add the Coffee gradually. 3. Apply on the Cake when cold. Coffee Glaze (alternative to Icing) Ingredients 1. 56g/2oz of Icing Sugar 2. 2 15ml tablespoons of Coffee mixed with 2 15ml tablespoons of hot water and 2 15ml table spoons of milk Method 1. Mix ingredients together in a bowl. 2. Spread on Cake when cool.

  Made this last week, but in one cake tin instead of two. As a result, only used half the amount of ingredients for the icing, because I pasted the icing on top of the the cake. Also omitted the jam. Loved it, as did everyone else who ate the cake :)

  Was very quick and easy to make. 30 minutes would have been too long though. Mine was ready after about 22 minutes. I must admit I didn't do the jam thing. Could have done with little bit more buttercream. Tastes very nice. I put walnuts on the top of the cake.

  I am new to baking and made this cake yesterday. I added an extra tbsp coffee to the cake mixture, omitted the jam and sprinkled walnut pieces on top of the icing. After my boyfriend tasted his piece he said "you and me are gonna go far". Result!

  Didn't rise much, so as I was making it as a gift for a friend I found another recipe. However, I gave this one to the family instead and they really liked it.

  I made this cake as a gift for a friend. Very easy to make, and my friend said it was absolutely delicious! The same quantities also make 24 little cupcakes: I put the buttercream on top, and finished them off with a walnut. Thanks for a great recipe!

  What a brilliant recipe and the cake is so light. However, just a hint to make sure you grease your tins well as mine was half stuck in...but its still turned out to be very lovely even if the presentation was lacking!!!
