Directions:For cake: preheat oven to 350. Cut the butter into cubes and mix. Gradually add sugar and beat on medium for 10 mins. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Toss the broken walnuts with remaining flour and set aside. Add eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, beating well. Combine the milk with the vanilla and almond extracts. Alternately add the flour mix and milk to the creamed mixture and beat well after each addition. Add the floured walnuts and continue beating. Lightly butter 2 loaf pans and divide batter into pans. Bake for 50 minutes and let cool before turning them out of the pans. Let cool before frosting.
For Frosting: Set mixing bowl in a basin of simmering water. Add the chocolate and coffee and heat, stirring often until the chocolate is melted and blended. Combine the yolks, salt and sugar in another bowl. Set the bowl in a basin of simmering water and beat the yolk mixture rapidly with a wire whisk or electric mixer. Beat until the mixture forms a ribbon. Spoon the chocolate into the yolk mixture. Return the bowl to the simmering water and continue beating. Gradually beat in the butter bit by bit. Remove the bowl from the heat. Continue to beat in a cool place until the mixture thickens and becomes spreadable. Beat in the walnuts. Use the butter cream to spread over the cakes. |
