Method
Oven temperature Gas 4, Fan 170C. Line two 20.5cm, 8in round cake tins with baking parchment.
Begin by creaming together the butter/ margarine and sugars until very soft and light.
Slowly add the beaten egg with the mixer on slow speed. Then fold in half the coffee and the flour followed by the chopped walnuts.
Divide the mixture between the tins and bake for 25min or until cooked. Turn out on to a wire tray to cool.
For the butter cream beat together the softened butter, remaining coffee and icing sugar until light. Fill and top the cake with the butter cream and decorate with walnuts.
