Coffee Walnut Butter Cake ~ 咖啡核桃牛油蛋糕

 


This Coffee Walnut Butter cake recipe is adapted from my Marble Butter Cake which I posted some time back.  I tweaked it a bit to accommodate blended walnuts, added some coffee and Kahlua liqueur.  As always, Mrs. Ng's butter cake recipe never fails and this cake is soft and moist and indeed yummy.

  10. Pour the batter into the prepared pan
  11. Level the surface and place the whole walnuts on top.
  12. Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 deg.C for about 45 mins. till golden brown.  Test with a skewer till it comes out clean.

Mini lime marmalade chiffon cake

These little chiffon cupcakes were made with lime marmalade.  Other than orange marmalade I've never come across lime marmalade and so this went into my shopping basket when I was in Perth last.  It's slightly more sour than orange marmalade but it's delicious when you have it with butter or peanut butter slathered on a slice of freshly baked bread or toast!
