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.
