Any recommendations for a coffee and walnut cake that uses espresso coffee?

We don't have any instant coffee but I would like to make a coffee and walnut cake.

Can anyone recommend a recipe please that has a good level of coffee flavour using espresso coffee from a stovetop maker.

I'm just a bit wary of making it too soggy/not strong enough/too strong using guessed amounts.

Thank you

Not espresso sorry but this is the most delicious cake. It says camp coffee essence but I just use instant and use 2 teaspoons in a tablespoon of water. Could you make a a really strong espresso & add, initially, 1/2 a tablespoon then taste the mix & decide if the next half tablespoon needs to be even stronger? That’s how I tweaked the amount.

Thank you both.

@Fivemoreminutes1 I see that one is based on a Mary Berry recipe so that should be a winner.

This is a good recipe, I'd just sub in the espresso.

UPDATE ... I made the River Cottage one in the end and it was delicious.
It didn't particularly rise very well but was so light and the right amount of coffee taste.

Thanks all Smile
