Babs Coffee Walnut Cake W/ Coffee Frosting Recipe
This is my sister Babs recipe for Coffee Walnut Cake that she sent to me. I'm sure this came out of a British cookery book at some point but as she has been making it for years she can't remember exactly where it came from.

- 8 ounces caster sugar (US Superfine granulated)

Coffee Butter Cream frosting

- Coffee Butter Cream Frosting:.
