(From our GLD October 2018 newsletter)
Ingredients
- 20g Fairtrade Ground Coffee
- 300ml Boiling water
- 1 X Cafetiere
- 150g X Dairy free spread
- 150g X Dark brown sugar
- 250g X Self raising flour

- 120g X Chopped walnuts
- 200g X Icing sugar
- 2lb Bread tin
[Method]
In a cafetiere mix together the 300ml boiling water and the ground coffee and allow to cool before pressing. Cream together 150g dairy-free spread and dark brown sugar in a mixing bowl until a smooth paste is formed. Add to the mix your self-raising flour, aquafaba and 100g of the pressed coffee; make sure you keep the remaining coffee as you will need it later. Mix together well before stirring in 100g of the chopped walnuts. Grease and line a 2lb bread tin and add your batter, making sure the mixture is evenly spread in the tin. Cook at 180°C for 45 minutes turning halfway. Once the cake is cooked place on a Safi coffee and 100g of dairy-free spread until smooth and lay over the top of the cake. Finish by adding the remaining walnuts and chill for a few minutes until the frosting has set then serve.
