Hi Charlynn, the coffee cake is a simple white cake recipe - I simply dissolve a couple of teaspoons of instant coffee in a little boiled water and add that to the wet ingredients at the time you would add the vanilla - I often add the vanilla as well as the coffee flavouring.
The butter icing is normal butter icing again with the same amount of dissolved coffee mixed into it.
The icing is confectioners sugar dissolved in a little of the dissolved coffee. Decorate with walnuts - supposedly so that each slice has a walnut on top.
Marks and Spencer do a lovely coffee and walnut cake if you are ever in the UK :) But then they also do a lovely toffee cake too mmmmmmmm
