Ingredients

1 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
CAKE:
4 teaspoons instant coffee granules
2 teaspoons hot water
1/2 cup butter, softened
1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
3 eggs
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
GLAZE:
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
3 to 4 teaspoons brewed coffee
1 teaspoon butter, melted

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the walnuts, sugars, coffee granules and cinnamon; set aside. For cake, in a small bowl, dissolve coffee granules in water; set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the sour cream, applesauce, buttermilk, vanilla and coffee. Combine the flour, baking soda and baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream mixture and mix well.
Pour half of the batter into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Sprinkle with walnut mixture. Top with remaining batter.
Bake at 350° for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Combine glaze ingredients until smooth; drizzle over cake. Yield: 12 servings.
