Coffee cake



The shell icing

Today I made an ordinary sponge cake but I added some ground coffee granules to the mixture. After spooning the cake mixture into two tins and baking for 25 minutes the cakes were done. I then left the cake in the tin for 10 minutes before releasing it for the tin. To decorate I made a coffee buttercream by combining margarine and icing sugar and made a coffee paste by dissolving coffee with a small amount of boiling water. I packed the inside of the cake with the buttercream and then made some vanilla buttercream for the outside of the cake. Then I piped a shell pattern all the way around the edge of the cake before putting walnuts next to the icing.
