Coffee Walnut Cake

I love Coffee..................
I always thought that I just drank coffee for the 'warmth' and 'flavor' of it.
but It was the experience of coffee I said I kept returning too, snuggling into a comfy coffee-shop seat with a cup of your favourite foaming coffee in hand.
It's always over coffee you talk to friends about life, love, family and everything....
when i choose coffee cheesecake instead of new york cheese cake , coffee biscuit instead of butter biscuit.., and prefer any kind of dessert with coffee as part of the ingredients....
I knew it.... Yes....Iam Addicted.... ^________________^
bought this book and found out this recipe . I can smell the coffee flavour from the oven, when I baked this cake. Can't wait to try a piece of it...
