Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until they are fragrant. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
- Once cooled, finely chop the toasted walnuts or pulse them in a food processor until they are coarsely ground. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, crack open the 6 eggs and whisk them until they are well mixed.
- Gradually add the 1 cup of sugar to the eggs, continuing to whisk until the mixture becomes thick and pale.
- Gently fold the ground walnuts into the egg and sugar mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, combine the 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and 1/4 cup of honey.
- Using an electric mixer, whip the mixture on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. The cream should be thick and hold its shape.
- Once the cake has completely cooled, transfer it to a serving plate.
- Generously spread the honey cream over the top of the cake, creating an even layer. You can either leave it as a single layer or slice the cake horizontally to create layers and add cream in between each layer.
- Garnish the cake with extra chopped walnuts or a drizzle of honey, if desired.
- Slice and serve this indulgent walnut cake with honey cream. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Ensure the walnuts are finely ground to create a smoother cake texture.
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks carefully to ensure proper whipping.
- When whipping the cream, make sure the bowl and whisk are cold for better volume.
- Gently fold ingredients to maintain the light and airy texture of the batter.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the honey cream to prevent melting.
Your Walnut Cake with Honey Cream is now ready to be enjoyed. The rich flavor of walnuts complements the sweet and luscious honey cream, creating a dessert that is both indulgent and satisfying. Whether served at a family gathering or as a treat for yourself, this cake is sure to please any palate. Enjoy!
