Method

  1. Step 1:

    Preheat the oven to 160°C and prepare two 20cm sandwich tins (greased and lined).

  2. Step 2:

    Prepare the flax seed 'eggs' by adding 10 tbsp of warm water to 5 tbsp of ground flax seeds.

     

  3. Step 3:

    Cream the vegan margarine and dark muscovado sugar together. Gently fold in the gluten free self-raising flour, baking powder and camp coffee.

  4. Step 4:

    Chop the walnuts into chunky pieces and fold into the cake mixture. 

  5. Step 5:

    Split the mixture evenly between the two sandwich tins and place into the pre-heated oven.

    Bake the cakes until a skewer comes out clean, about 20-25 minutes.

  6. Step 6:

    While the cakes are cooling, make the coffee buttercream. 

    Beat the vegan margarine, stir in the Camp coffee syrup and water. Gradually mix in the icing sugar until you reach a fluffy buttercream consistency.

  7. Step 7:

    Once the cakes are cooled, sandwich the cake together with half of the coffee buttercream.

    Then top the cake with the remaining coffee buttercream and decorate with walnuts.
