Ingredients

Butter3 tbsp
Salta pinch
Eggs4
Sugar1 cup
Baking Powder2 tsp
Vanilla Extract1 tsp
Walnuts1 cup, chopped
Instant Coffee2 tbsp

Instructions

1
Heat the oven to 180 C / 350 F and line the tin; a properly prepared pan is half the battle.
2
Whisk the butter, eggs and sugar until pale, thick and doubled — this takes three or four good minutes.
3
Fold the flour and walnuts through in two additions; overmixing makes a dense crumb.
4
Pour into the tin and bake 30-40 minutes, until a skewer in the centre comes out clean.
5
Level the top, pile on the frosting, and let it rest ten minutes before slicing.

Chef's tip

Salt is the missing ingredient in most home desserts — a small pinch makes chocolate and caramel taste more like themselves.
