Coffee and Walnut cake is one of my favourite cakes to enjoy now and again. Naturally l love incorporating new flavours to most of my recipes and this is no exception. After trialling and finally creating the Café Touba (spiced Coffee) from Senegal, the idea of incorporating it into my cake made me excited.
’Café Touba’, named after the Senegalese city of Touba, is a famous, spiced Coffee drink from Senegal and Guinea Bissau.
The authentic recipe is a guarded open secret, however I’ve managed to get that distinctive flavour, that Café Touba is known for.
