Cake with nuts

Cookinero 24 Feb 2025

Baking a walnut cake is not as difficult as it seems. You need to know a couple of nuances. If the sponge cake falls, it means it lacks air. It gets there when you beat the eggs vigorously, and it goes away when you stir it vigorously with the flour. The dough should not stand for too long, it needs to be baked right away. On the contrary, it is better to let the finished sponge cake stand. Then it is easy to cut and convenient to soak it with cream - it will not crumble. It is better to soak the cake with nuts with delicious sour cream.

How to cook Cake with nuts

Step 1

Step 2

Cake with nuts

Step 3

Cake with nuts

Step 4

Cake with nuts

Spread some of the cream on the bottom layer, spreading it evenly over the surface. Place the second layer flat side up and spread some cream on it as well. Sprinkle the cake with chopped nuts. Put the finished dessert in the refrigerator so that it soaks and the cream thickens.
