Coffee and walnut cake

Coffee and walnut cake can be found in every tearoom. Even though it’s old fashioned, it hasn’t fallen out of favour. You can make one cake and decorate it with buttercream or you can make several layers with buttercream in between.

You can make buttercream in several different ways. Italian buttercream is made with Italian meringue, which is made by whipping egg whites together with hot sugar syrup. The meringue is then beaten until it has cooled, after which the butter is added. T
