Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter (110g) and sugar (200g) together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer or by hand with a wooden spoon.
- Gradually beat in the eggs (100g), one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Mix in the milk (120g) and 1 tsp espresso coffee (5g).
- In a separate bowl, sift together the self-raising flour (300g) and ground cinnamon (6g).
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped walnuts (72g) into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar (160g) and 1 tsp espresso coffee (5g) until smooth and well combined. Adjust the consistency if needed by adding a bit more coffee or powdered sugar. The icing should be thick but pourable.
- Once the loaf is completely cooled, drizzle the coffee icing over the top.
- Let the icing set before slicing and serving.
Tips:
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature to ensure it mixes smoothly with the other ingredients.
- Toast the walnuts lightly before chopping them to enhance their flavor.
- Sift the powdered sugar before making the icing to avoid lumps.
- Use freshly brewed strong coffee for the espresso component to get a rich coffee flavor in the loaf.
- Allow the loaf to cool completely before icing to prevent the icing from melting and sliding off.
