Ticking All The Right Boxes

Living with my brother, who is quite literally a human dustbin means my baking game is picking up...and fast. A few days ago I whipped up one cake, a few days later I whipped up another. It's great that he loves them, but hard work keeping up with his appetite! 

First off: Coffee and Hazelnut cake. 

What you'll need:
(Enough for 8-10 slices - depending on size of course) 
-2 eggs
-4oz butter
-4oz light brown sugar
-4oz self raising flour
-3tsp of hazelnut syrup
-3tbsp of instant coffee + hot water
Icing:
-4oz icing sugar
-4oz butter
-2tsp of coffee & water

The Baking of:
I'm going to be lazy and just link you to a previous step-by-step. Simply because it's a recipe I've done on numerous occasions.
All you need to do differently is add the syrup and coffee once you've got all the other ingredients mixed together. 

P.S: If you love your coffee, don't be shy on the amount! 

P.P.S: I've finally found out that you can actually buy Hazelnut extract/essence. So if you don't want a bottle from Starbucks, head over to amazon and pick up a small bottle.
