The nut biscuit baked according to our recipe turns out very soft and moist. Such cake layers do not need to be soaked. This means that the dessert can be served immediately with tea. To prepare the nut biscuit, you will need a detachable form without a bottom with a diameter of 24 cm and foil. It should be wrapped around the form to form the bottom. Choose walnuts correctly. Oblong oval varieties are best. Their shell is thinner, and the kernels are sweeter and larger.

How to cook Walnut sponge cake

Step 1

Start making the sponge cake with nuts. To do this, add salt to the whites and beat with a mixer at the lowest speed. Increase the speed after a couple of minutes. Work with the mixer for another 5-7 minutes until the whites become thick.

Step 2

Gradually add sugar to the mixture. Add the yolks.

Step 3

Add baking powder, flour, vanilla sugar and chopped walnuts to the mixture. Mix gently.

Step 4

Pour in milk and vegetable oil. Stir.

Step 5

Pour the dough into the pan and place in the oven for 40 minutes. Cool the dessert on a wire rack.
