Walnut Cake with Mocha Frosting
Hi Guys!

I baked a nice walnut cake yesterday and I would like to give a shout out to @edwing357 as I made 2 trays ๐Ÿคฃ If you were next door, my friend, rest a sure a slice or two, in fact, the whole tl2nd tray, would be for you indeed ๐Ÿ˜ I covered the cake with mocha frosting as I just love mocha flavor. I do have to mention though, I thought I have added enough coffee to make it mocha like, however, my 13 yo said it tastes like caramel instead ๐Ÿ˜… In other words, brew stronger coffee than mine, friends!
