This is my take on a simple coffee sponge cake. I have swapped the traditional walnuts for ground almonds, and added a layer of blackcurrant jam alongside the coffee buttercream. Almonds and coffee are a great pairing, and the ground almonds help to give this cake a lovely moist texture. The blackcurrant jam gives an extra, fruity flavour and adds a bit of colour to the cake as well.

That looks lovely.
I would never have thought of putting coffee and blackcurrant together but it sounds delicious. I can't wait to give it a try…..I retire from work next week and intend to take a cake in to work on my last day…..this looks perfect. Thanks for the recipe.
Hope you had a great last day at work and the cake turned out well!
