Recipe - Chopped Walnut And Coffee Cake

4 Eggs
4 ounce Icing sugar
1 tablespoon Fine fresh bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Fresh coffee; finely ground
1 tablespoon Cocoa powder
6 ounce Shelled walnuts; roughly
chopped

FOR THE ICING
4 ounce Unsalted butter; softened
4 ounce Icing sugar; sifted
1 Egg yolk
1 tablespoon Instant coffee
2 tablespoon Boiling water

Grease and line a cake tin 8 inches in diameter and 2 inches high.

Separate the yolks from the egg whites. Cream the yolks and sugar together
until pale yellow and hanging like ribbons from the beater. Add the bread
crumbs, ground coffee, cocoa and walnuts and mix well together. Whisk the
egg whites stiffly and carefully fold into the walnut mixture. Pour the
mixture into the prepared cake tin and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven
for 45 minutes. Cool in the tin, then turn out onto a rack.

To make the icing, cream the butter with the icing sugar and egg yolk.
Dissolve the instant coffee in the boiling water and mix well into the
icing. Spread over the cake with a wet knife.
