October 1st marks International Coffee Day, and while we never really need an excuse to sip a cuppa, it’s the perfect reminder to celebrate the ritual of coffee. For many of us, it’s more than just a drink, it’s a pause in the day, a moment of connection, and sometimes even the start of new ideas.
To celebrate, we’re sharing a simple, no-fuss recipe that combines coffee and cake into one delicious bite: Coffee & Walnut Loaf. It’s moist, full of flavour, and just right for sharing with a friend (or keeping all to yourself).
