Austrian Coffee and Walnut Cake with Coffee Cream
This is unashamedly rich and luscious. Firstly, coffee and walnuts have a great affinity; secondly, so do coffee and creaminess; and thirdly, because the cake is soaked in coffee syrup, it's also meltingly moist.
Serves 8
Ingredients
For the sponge cake:
1½ level tablespoons instant coffee mixed with 2 tablespoons boiling water
3 oz (75 g) walnut halves
6 oz (175 g) self-raising flour
1½ level teaspoons baking powder
6 oz (175 g) softened butter
6 oz (175 g) golden caster sugar
3 large eggs at room temperature
For the syrup:
1 level tablespoon instant espresso coffee powder
2 oz (50 g) demerara sugar
For the filling and topping:
1 level tablespoon instant espresso coffee powder
1 rounded tablespoon golden caster sugar
10 walnut halves, reserved from the sponge cake
9 oz (250 g) mascarpone
7 fl oz (200 ml) 8 per cent fat fromage frais
Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 3, 325°F (170°C).
You will also need two 8 inch (20 cm) sandwich tins, 1½ inches (4 cm) deep, lightly greased and the bases lined with silicone paper (baking parchment).

First of all you need to toast all the walnuts, so spread them on a baking sheet and place in the pre-heated oven for 7-8 minutes. After that, reserve 10 halves to use as decoration later and finely chop the rest. Take a very large mixing bowl, put the flour and baking powder in a sieve and sift it into the bowl, holding the sieve high to give it a good airing as it goes down.
Now all you do is simply add all the other cake ingredients (except the coffee and walnuts) to the bowl and, provided the butter is really soft, just go in with an electric hand whisk and whisk everything together until you have a smooth, well-combined mixture, then fold in the coffee and chopped walnuts. This will take about 1 minute but, if you don't have an electric hand whisk, you can use a wooden spoon and a little bit more effort. What you should end up with is a soft mixture that drops off the spoon easily when you give it a sharp tap; if not, add a spot of water. Divide the mixture between the prepared sandwich tins, spreading the mixture around evenly. Then place the tins on the centre shelf of the oven and bake them for 30 minutes.
While the cakes are cooking you can make up the syrup and the filling and topping. For the syrup, first place the coffee and sugar in a heatproof jug, then measure 2 fl oz (55 ml) boiling water into it and stir briskly until the coffee and sugar have dissolved, which will take about 1 minute. Next, the filling and topping, and all you do here is place all the ingredients, except the reserved walnuts, in a bowl and whisk them together till thoroughly blended. Then cover the bowl with clingfilm and chill till needed.
When the cakes are cooked, ie, feel springy in the centre, remove them from the oven but leave them in their tins and prick them all over with a skewer while they are still hot. Now spoon the syrup as evenly as possible over each one and leave them to soak up the liquid as they cool in their tins. When they are absolutely cold, turn them out very carefully and peel off the base papers – it's a good idea to turn one out on to the plate you're going to serve it on. Then spread half the filling and topping mixture over the first cake, place the other cake carefully on top and spread the other half over. Finally, arrange the reserved walnut halves in a circle all around. It's a good idea to chill the cake if you're not going to serve it immediately. If you wan know another you can click here

Tea 'healthier' drink than water
Image of a mug of tea
The researchers recommend people consume three to four cups a day
Drinking three or more cups of tea a day is as good for you as drinking plenty of water and may even have extra health benefits, say researchers.
The work in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition dispels the common belief that tea dehydrates.Tea not only rehydrates as well as water does, but it can also protect against heart disease and some cancers, UK nutritionists found.Experts believe flavonoids are the key ingredient in tea that promote health.
Healthy cuppa
These polyphenol antioxidants are found in many foods and plants, including tea leaves, and have been shown to help prevent cell damage.
Tea replaces fluids and contains antioxidants so its got two things going for it
Lead author Dr Ruxton
Public health nutritionist Dr Carrie Ruxton, and colleagues at Kings College London, looked at published studies on the health effects of tea consumption.
They found clear evidence that drinking three to four cups of tea a day can cut the chances of having a heart attack.Some studies suggested tea consumption protected against cancer, although this effect was less clear-cut.Other health benefits seen included protection against tooth plaque and potentially tooth decay, plus bone strengthening.
Dr Ruxton said: "Drinking tea is actually better for you than drinking water. Water is essentially replacing fluid. Tea replaces fluids and contains antioxidants so it's got two things going for it."
Rehydrating
She said it was an urban myth that tea is dehydrating.
"Studies on caffeine have found very high doses dehydrate and everyone assumes that caffeine-containing beverages dehydrate. But even if you had a really, really strong cup of tea or coffee, which is quite hard to make, you would still have a net gain of fluid.
"Also, a cup of tea contains fluoride, which is good for the teeth," she added.
There was no evidence that tea consumption was harmful to health. However, research suggests that tea can impair the body's ability to absorb iron from food, meaning people at risk of anaemia should avoid drinking tea around mealtimes.
Tea is not dehydrating. It is a healthy drink
Claire Williamson of the British Nutrition Foundation
Dr Ruxton's team found average tea consumption was just under three cups per day.
She said the increasing popularity of soft drinks meant many people were not drinking as much tea as before.
"Tea drinking is most common in older people, the 40 plus age range. In older people, tea sometimes made up about 70% of fluid intake so it is a really important contributor," she said.
Claire Williamson of the British Nutrition Foundation said: "Studies in the laboratory have shown potential health benefits.
"The evidence in humans is not as strong and more studies need to be done. But there are definite potential health benefits from the polyphenols in terms of reducing the risk of diseases such as heart disease and cancers.
"In terms of fluid intake, we recommend 1.5-2 litres per day and that can include tea. Tea is not dehydrating. It is a healthy drink."
The Tea Council provided funding for the work. Dr Ruxton stressed that the work was independent.

White Tea - History
According to Chinese legend, some 5,000 years ago the emperor Shen Nung was traveling the countryside. The water was foul and unfit for drinking, so he ordered it to be boiled. Suddenly the wind blew a tea leaf into his cup of hot water. The curious emperor let the leaf steep, then drank the brew. Tea was born.
White tea became revered during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). It was the choice of the royal court and was given as tribute to the emperor. White tea leaves and buds were ground into a silvery powder, which was then whisked in bowls during the Song Tea Ceremony. This was the inspiration for the famous Japanese Tea Ceremony which is practiced todate.
One Song Emperor was renowned for his love of white tea. Hui Zong (1101-1125) became so obsessed with finding the perfect tea that he lost much of his empire.
Over the next several centuries, powdered white tea and the Song Tea Ceremony were abandoned for loose-leaf tea.
White tea has come a long way in its long history. It was largely unknown outside China and the Orient until recently. Now, with a renewed interest in fine tea and remarkable discoveries about its health benefits, white tea is more popular than ever.
Introduction To White Tea
The Chinese have enjoyed white tea for over a thousand years. It has been the privilege of the rich, a gift for kings, and the downfall of an emperor. Only in the past few years has the western world become aware of and interested in white tea.
This site is to teach you all you need to know about white tea and help you better appreciate and enjoy this rare and mysterious brew.
White Tea Basics
White tea is the least processed form of tea. It consists of unopened buds and select leaves which have been simply withered and dried.
White Tea and Health
It is rare, striking in appearance, and pleasant tasting. Because of its minimal processing, white tea contains more antioxidants and other plant nutrients than black or green tea. It is the mightiest of the teas, the ultimate Health Tea.
It gets its name from the fine silvery white hairs on the unopened buds of the tea plant. The highest quality white tea consists only of these buds and is beautiful to behold.
Brewing White Tea
White tea should be brewed with very hot, but not boiling water for 2-3 minutes. The buds and leaves can be used 2-3 times before discarding. Some people prefer to steep it for a longer time, which produces a stronger taste. Experiment and decide for yourself.
White tea has a light, delicate, slightly sweet flavor that sharpens the senses without overwhelming the tongue.
Caffeine and White Tea
All true teas have caffeine in varying amounts. Black tea has the most, followed by oolong and green. White tea has the least amount. To decaffeinate your own tea, simply steep in very hot water for 1 minute, then discard the water and steep the tea as usual.
Storing White Tea
White tea should be stored in a cool, dry, dark place. A kitchen cabinet away from the stove and other heat sources is an ideal spot. Make sure it is in an airtight container to maximize its shelf life.
Finally, white tea is harder to make and harder to find. The buds and leaves can only be picked for a short time each year. There is also a smaller supply compared to black and green tea.
High quality white tea is not cheap, but the rewards are well worth it
