Ingredients:

For the sponge -

200g butter

200g self raising flour

200g sugar

4 tbsp coffee essence

4 eggs 

2tbsp vanilla essence

2tsp baking powder

For the icing - 

75g butter

250g icing sugar

1tbsp coffee essence

2 tbsp milk

Preheat the oven to 160'C

 Put all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat until well combined

I like to use an electric whisk for around 5 minutes 

 Line 2 8inch tins with greaseproof paper or baking parchment and separate mixture

 Place in the over for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean

Mix the ingredients for the icing in a bowl and beat until well combined and of a good consistency

Once the sponge is cool, spread on icing with a palette knife for the filling and on top. Decorate with walnut halves and/or chocolate coffee beans

...et voila, tuck in :)
