Rich Cappuccino Cake
Light, fluffy, and infused with rich espresso flavour, this Cappuccino Cake is a coffee lover’s dream. Layers of golden sponge are delicately blended with smooth butter, golden sugar, and aromatic spent coffee grounds for a subtle roast depth. Sandwiched and topped with a velvety coffee buttercream, each slice delivers the perfect balance of sweetness and bold coffee intensity. Finished with a sprinkle of crunchy walnuts, this elegant cake pairs beautifully with an afternoon espresso — or as an indulgent finish to any meal.
