1 tbsp fine-ground real coffee grounds
175g unsalted butter, softened
100g light brown sugar

100g spelt or wholemeal flour
2 level tsp baking powder
75g brazil or walnuts, finely chopped (optional)

2 tsp instant coffee dissolved in I tbsp hot water
Method
Heat oven to 180°C non-fan. Butter two 20cm sponge tins and line the bottom with baking parchment.
Combine milk, instant coffee and ground coffee in a saucepan and bring only just to the boil. Beat butter and both sugars till light and fluffy. Then beat in eggs one at a time.

Mix icing ingredients together with a whisk and spread in between and on top of cooled cakes. Delicious!
