You will need 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of sugar, ½ cup of butter, 2 eggs, 1 cup of buttermilk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and ½ cup of chopped nuts.

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter and lightly dust with flour. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

In a small bowl, mix together the brewed coffee and the instant coffee granules. Pour the mixture over the batter in the cake pan and use a knife to swirl the coffee into the cake batter.
In a separate bowl, mix together the chopped nuts, brown sugar, and melted butter. Sprinkle the topping over the cake. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool before serving.
