Coffee is a must for some people. But for those whose drink of choice is water or tea, you'll love this cake for its nutrient pack benefits! Other than the excuse to get more caffeine in your day-to-day routine, the nutritional aspect comes from the caffeine as well as the walnuts. Caffeine is found to lower the risk of heart problems and liver disease. Walnuts on the other contain good fats, vitamins and minerals which are good for both brain health and function.

Simple moist coffee cake topped with delicious cream cheese and piled high with walnuts. Here's how to make it. First, we prepare the hot coffee. In a saucepan, heat butter, milk and instant coffee powder. Stir till coffee powder dissolves and butter has melted.

Next, we start with preparing the cake batter. Place beaten eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla essence in a mixing bowl. Beat till sugar dissolves. Add in the flour, baking powder and 1/2 portion of the hot coffee milk. Beat on medium. Add in the remaining of the hot coffee milk and beat till batter thickens slightly. Line the baking pan with parchment paper and pour batter in. Drop the pan gently to remove excess air bubbles. Transfer to the oven and bake for 30mins.

Spoon a generous amount of cream cheese frosting onto the cake.

Whisk cream cheese, butter and vanilla extract with a stand mixer. Add in icing sugar in portions and beat till mixture is well incorporated. Spoon a generous amount of cream cheese frosting onto the cake and pile on chopped walnuts.

Want to finish it off fancy? Add on chocolate drizzle or even a soup of your favourite icecream on top.
