Don’t be tempted to add the morning’s brewed coffee. Instant espresso or coffee is what you want when you don’t want to add liquid. Regular ground coffee just won’t dissolve like instant coffee does.
What's a "pound cake"?
A pound cake uses a pound each of butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. This coffee and walnut loaf cake uses that same 1:1:1:1 ratio.
Tips and Tricks
Most people don't cream butter enough. And this is really important when making a pound cake. You really do want it to be "light and fluffy!"
Tips and Tricks
Be warned that pound cakes crack.
If you really really really hate the cracked top, you can hide it with a coffee buttercream. But it doesn't need it!
