Coffee Walnut Cake

Whenever I eat cake that bought from bakery shop, sure to scrap away the all the creams on the cakes. So I don't intend to decorate cake with cream, unless the chocolate fudge that special request from my youngest daughter and her friends.
My motto for baking cakes are -Delicious + Simple + Plain + Less sweet!

My buddy Mimi Foo give me a small container of walnuts. And I found a walnut cake on Wen's blog. I have made some adjustment and here is the recipe to share with you.


Ingredients:
250g Butter
180g Sugar ( I used 160 gm and soft brown sugar)

50g Ground Almonds
230g Plain Flour

Caution : Add in the eggs bit and bit and slowing to prevent the batter become curdle.
