Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup brewed strong coffee, cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
- ¼ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven & Prepare the Loaf Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. This ensures easy removal of the cake once baked. - Combine Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. - Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, cooled coffee, and vanilla extract until smooth. - Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. - Add Walnuts
Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. - Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Cool
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can drizzle the cooled cake with a coffee glaze made by mixing powdered sugar with a small amount of brewed coffee.
- Ensure that the coffee used is strong to impart the best flavor to the cake.
- If you don’t have walnuts, you can substitute with other nuts like pecans or almonds for a variation.
