Whole Wheat Coffee Walnut Cake

I am a big fan of coffee! My day starts with a cup of hot filtered coffee. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee is just awesome!! I tried baking a Chocolate cake with a twist adding coffee to it.

To make it healthier I used whole wheat flour. It turned out really well. My mom always used to add nutmeg to coffee. Nutmeg goes really well with coffee. Instead of adding vanilla essence I tried adding nutmeg powder.
