Start by blending the sugar and 50g walnuts in a food processor until you have a fine powder. 2. Next add 225g butter, flour, baking powder, bicarb soda and eggs to the food processor and process until you have a smooth batter. Then, with the food processor running, stream in 40g of espresso. 3. Grease 2 x 23cm cake tins and pour the cake batter evenly into the 2 tins. 4. Bake in a 180°c oven for 25 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. 5. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest on a cake stand for 10 minutes before you turn it out and leave it to cool completely. 6. For the icing, place the remaining butter, icing sugar and 40g espresso in a mixer with the whisk attachment and whisk until smooth. 7. When the cake is cool, place 1/2 the icing on top of one of the cakes and 1/2 of the extra walnuts. Then, place the other cake on top, spread the rest of the icing on the top cake and garnish with the leftover walnuts. 8.
