How to Prepare Coffee and Walnut Cake [Vegan]

Preheat oven to 360°F.
Grease two 8-inch cake pans and line them with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, add all dry ingredients and mix well.
Pour in all wet ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until you have a smooth batter.
Divide the batter evenly into the cake pans (the recipe yields for two small cakes, you will not have a lot of batter in each pan, which is ok).
Bake for about 20-28 minutes, test the center of each cake with a fork or toothpick if it comes out clean, the cake is fully cooked.
Leave the cakes in the pans for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack and peel off parchment paper.
For the buttercream, place the vegan butter in a mixing bowl and beat for 1 minute.
Add the coffee and the powdered sugar and beat for an additional 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
To frost, place one layer of the cooled cake on serving platter or cake stand. Top with half of the buttercream and smooth out to the edges. Place the other cake on top of it and top with the rest of the buttercream.
Decorate with some walnuts and serve at room temperature.
