Re: Festive food
I'll dig it out JG. It's in my hand written recipe book which I started when I got married 35 years ago - you can tell the pages with the best loved recipes as they are disgustingly splattered with cake mix!!

Re: Festive food
Found it! Not in my food bespattered notebook, but in my folder of recipes I had meant to copy out but hadn't got round to. Some of the recipes date back to the 70s!!
2 teaspoons instant coffee
4oz golden syrup
2oz butter
2oz caster sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk (optional)
Coffee butter cream icing
Sieve flour. Grease and base line an 8" sandwich tin.
Melt fat, sugar and syrup together in a saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in the coffee.
Cool, and combine with beaten egg and milk. Pour the liquid into the flour, beat until smooth and pour into the sandwich tin. Bake for about 25 minutes at gas mark 5. When cold, ice with butter cream icing and decorate with walnuts.
This is the recipe as I have it typed out by my mum, though I slightly altered it, as she sieved the coffee and flour together. This was in the days when coffee was powder. I think it would be fine to add it to the syrup as it cools. I think you let the cake cool in the tin before icing it.
