If you mean coffee and walnut cake, it's great.

There is coffee in the recipe, not just having a cup of coffee with the cake?

Yes, the cake contains walnuts and coffee but recipes might be tricky, as we don't have sticks of butter or measure by cups in the uk.
I hate Nigella, but this might work https://www.nigella.com/recipe.....layer-cake (autocorrect changed that to nigeria!)
Here's a second one. I haven't read them to see how similar they are https://www.greatbritishchefs......ake-recipe

Nigella has quite a bit more coffee, but a little less walnuts than the other recipe.
I like that coffee can enhance/balance other bold flavors - without tasting like 'coffee'.
Used to keep a small jar of instant expresso powder for some spice rubs, hearty bread recipes, some Mexican & Southern recipes.
Haven't tried them, but know of recipes that re-purpose the coffee grounds. I'm not into eating gravelly bits anymore, but I've eaten chocolate-covered coffee beans.
Probably the most unique recipe I've seen used heated coffee beans as a bed to slow roast vegetables on.

Don't worry about the sell-by date. I've had 10 year old instant coffee that tasted better than the new stuff.

They are interesting recipes. I wish I still baked, 😂.

Watch out - in the UK we have tsp = teaspoon and tbsp = tablespoon, in case you don't in the USA. 3 tsp = 1 tbsp. But once you heap them, anything goes. So just do it to taste. Regular bakers will know that anyway.
Also don't use whipped cream for the filling. It's better with buttercream.

Same here in the US, Gordon. Thanks for the heads up, just in case. 😁
