Coffee and Walnut Cake (to Serve with Tea, Coffee)

To prepare a delicious dessert, we will start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Make sure you have flour, sugar, eggs, oil, baking powder, cocoa, vanilla essence, and of course, nuts to add extra texture and flavor. The first step is to preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius, so that when the mixture is ready, you can put it in immediately.

In a large bowl, add the sugar and eggs, then mix them well until you get a smooth and frothy mixture. This will ensure that the dessert will be fluffy and airy. Once the egg and sugar mixture is ready, incorporate the oil and vanilla essence, continuing to mix to combine all the ingredients. It is important to use quality oil, which will enhance the final flavor of the dish.

In another bowl, sift the flour together with the baking powder and cocoa. This step is essential to avoid the formation of lumps and to ensure an even distribution of the dry ingredients. Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring with a spatula or a wooden spoon. It is important not to overmix, as this can lead to a dense final product.

Once the mixture is homogenized, take a baking tray that you have greased with oil and dusted with flour to prevent sticking. Pour about half of the mixture into the tray, making sure to spread it evenly. Over this first half, sprinkle a teaspoon of instant coffee, which will add an intense note of flavor. Then, pour the remaining mixture, ensuring that the coffee is completely covered.

This will create a swirly effect inside the cake, providing a pleasant surprise in every slice. On top, add some halved nuts, which will not only add an attractive look but also a crunchy texture contrasting with the soft base.

Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes. It is recommended to do the toothpick test: insert a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the dessert is ready. Let it cool slightly before cutting and serving. Enjoy every slice, savoring the combination of flavors and textures!
