Classic coffee cake is a classic afternoon treat. Here it's been given a modern twist to include deliciously crunchy pecan brittle.

Ingredients

225 g butter (at room temperature), plus a little more for the tins

225 g light muscovado sugar

4 eggs

1 tbsp instant coffee granules, mixed with 2 tbsp milk to form a paste

175 g plain flour

3 tsp baking powder

150 g pecan halves, 8 kept for decoration, and the rest chopped

ICING

150 g white granulated sugar

500 g icing sugar

250 g butter, softened

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan. Line and butter 2 × 20cm sandwich tins. Beat the butter with the sugar until pale and fluffy, then beat in the eggs, one by one, with the coffee paste and 1 tbsp of the flour. Fold in the remaining flour, the baking powder and the chopped pecans.
  2. Divide the mixture between the tins, level the tops and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are risen and feel springy when pressed lightly. Cool slightly, then turn out onto a wire rack and leave cool completely.
  3. To make the brittle, tip the sugar into a frying pan in an even layer. Add 2 tbsp of water and heat until the sugar has melted. Keep cooking until you have an evenly coloured golden caramel. Add the whole pecans, then tip the lot onto a baking sheet set on a wooden board. Cool, then snap the pecans out of the surrounding brittle.
  4. Beat the butter and icing sugar together until light and fluffy, adding a tiny splash of water if you need to loosen it. Crush the brittle to a coarse powder by rolling it with a rolling pin, then beat it into the icing. Sandwich the cakes together with some icing, and cover the cake with the rest. Decorate the top with the glazed pecans.
