The ultimate coffee walnut cake

I made this to cheer myself up during the UU job fiasco.

I'd been wanting to make coffee walnut cake for ages, but as my baking is generally for someone else's birthday, or a family treat, and the teen monkeys don't like coffee, or walnuts...

But this was MY treat to cheer ME up, so I dug around for a recipe and found this: Nigel Slater's Coffee Walnut Cake (One tiny change: a squirt of honey in the buttercream, nicked from a different recipe.)

It works. Not only did I feel better, but the job crap now sorted, and the teen monkeys like coffee and walnuts :)

I'll be making this again.
