Walnut Coffee Cake with Butter Caramel Sauce

Ingredients 220g flour 200g white sugar 100g brown sugar 5g Nescafe ( or any instant coffee ) 3 tablespoon baking powder 1 pinch of salt 115g shortening ( you can use butter if there's no shortening at home ) 230ml milk 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence 4 egg whites 50g crushed walnuts ( any nuts would do if you don't have any walnuts )
How to make:
1. Mix dry ingredients into a bowl, add shortening,milk and vanilla. Beat in mixer for 1 minute or until the mixture is well blended.
2. Add in the egg whites and mix until mixture becomes fluffy or smooth.
3. Bake in prepared pan and preheated oven ( 170-180 degrees) for 30-40 minutes. Halfway through baking, add in crushed walnuts onto the batter and continue baking.This may differ according to your oven temp.Like mine, I had it cooked for 50 minutes at 160 degrees.
4. Leave cake to cool and meanwhile, prepare the butter caramel sauce. Ingredients 60g sugar 2 tablespoons butter 60ml cream, warmed vanilla essence
How to make:
1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Stir in the sugar and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a heatproof utensil, until the mixture begins to caramelize and turn an amber color.
2. When the caramel has turned somewhat reddish and has begun to smoke, and just when it looks and smells as if it is about to burn, remove from the heat and quickly pour in the heavy cream.
3. Stir the caramel until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla.
