Coffee and walnut cake is hard to find in a small size, so this one is scaled to two 6 inch sandwich tins. It serves six, with coffee buttercream through the middle and on top.

2 x 6inch sandwich cake tins. I lined the bottom with parchment paper and greased the sides.

I used the Ninja 9 in 1 “Bake” function.
