Directions
Grease and line 2 7-in. sandwich tins. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs one at a time. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt and fold in a little at a time. Divide the mixture equally between the prepared tins and bake in the centre of the oven at 350F for about 30 minutes, until golden brown and firm to the touch. Turn out the cakes and cool on a wire rack. Make some butter cream with 3 oz. butter and 6 oz. sifted icing sugar and add sufficient coffee essence to give a good flavour. Sandwich the layers together with the butter cream and use the remainder to coat the sides of the cake. Roll the sides in chopped walnuts and coat the top with glace icing flavoured with coffee essence; decorate with chopped walnuts. Submitted By JAMES LEAR On 10-08-95
