RATTAN DIRECT

Steps:

• 1 Make up your coffee and leave aside to cool. Preheat the oven to 350F 2 Grease and line your pie pan 3 Chop the walnuts with a large knife; if you aim for pieces about the size of rice grains, you will also get the requisite number of smaller bits too. They improve the texture of the cake. If you're very careful you could use a processor but take care not to end up with walnut butter 4 Place the softened butter in a mixing bowl and add the sugar. Whisk on full speed until pale and fluffy. A good 10 minutes will do it; this step is vital for a soft moist cake 5 Now, gradually add the beaten egg. If the mixture looks to curdle, add a tablespoon of the flour and beat well with the mixer 6 Mix the flour with the salt and baking powder. Taking half of the coffee, and three-quarters of the walnuts, alternate between the flour mix and the coffee/walnuts, folding each in completely before adding the next 7 Go carefully, with the edge of the spoon, to keep as much air as possible in the mix 8 Divide between the pans, smooth out the tops and bake for 25 minutes 9 Test the cakes, first by pressing on the top; it should bounce back but with a little give. Then stick a knife in and see if it comes clean 10 Don't be tempted to give it a little longer 'to be on the safe side'. Obviously, you do not want the raw batter, but it is better to have it sink slightly when it cools than have a dry cake 11 Let the cakes cool in the pans for ten minutes then turn out and cool completely
• 1 Whisk the mascarpone (or cream cheese) with the lemon zest, rest of the coffee, and the powdered sugar 2 Spread half of the icing on the bottom half, sandwich with the top and repeat. Scatter with the remaining walnuts 3 Slice and serve. The icing gets deeper as the days go by, and the moist cake keeps really well

WALNUT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C. Grease an 8-inch/20-cm round cake pan and line with parchment paper.
• Grind the walnuts together with the breadcrumbs in a food processor. Put the egg whites in a large bowl for whisking. Whisk the yolks and granulated sugar in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (without letting the bowl touch the water) until they have tripled in volume and become thick, pale and ribbony. Take the yolk mixture off the heat. Scatter the nut mixture over the yolk mixture, along with the chocolate, if using, then drizzle over the butter and espresso. Fold very gently to blend. Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks. Stir a spoonful of whites into the batter to loosen it, and then gently fold in the remainder.
• Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before flipping the cake out onto a serving plate.
• Decorate with a sifting of confectioners' sugar and a few walnut halves. Some white blossoms look nice, too. Serve small portions of cake with whipped cream and chocolate shavings or with coffee ice cream.

COFFEE AND WALNUT CAKE, A CLASSIC BRITISH CAKE FOR AFTERNOON TEA

• If the cakes aren't flat on top, cut them so that they are level (I like to use this super inexpensive tool.) Then either spread or pipe just under half of the frosting on one layer of the cake (the cut side.)
• Place the second layer on top. Be sure to put the cut side down (so both cut sides are facing each other in the middle.) Spread the frosting on the top. This is a very rustic cake, so don't worry if you don't get it to look perfect.
• Next, pipe rosettes on top of the cake (or you can place dollops of frosting) for 8, 10 or 12 walnut halves to sit on, depending on how many slices you want to have.
• Lastly, add a walnut half to each rosette. That's it! You've just made a classic British coffee and walnut cake!
