Walnut cake: two recipes
In fact, every homemaker's muffin recipe is different, and not everyone is willing to share the family secret of making this wonderful dessert. For many, the tastiest muffin remains the nut muffin, typically made with walnuts. Let's look at a few recipes.
Recipe #1. Traditional Nut Cake
To prepare this fluffy and delicious treat, we'll need the following ingredients, the proportions of which must be strictly observed, otherwise the cake may not rise and be "clogged":
- 5 medium chicken eggs or 6 small ones
- 300 g of tasty butter (in this case, do not substitute margarine, otherwise the taste of the cake will be spoiled)
- 300 g of white granulated sugar, you can use brown sugar if you like
- One cup of chopped and toasted walnuts
- 500 g of first-grade wheat flour
- A little orange zest, lemon will do too
- Powdered sugar
This walnut cake cooks up very quickly, so you can whip it up while your oven is preheating. So, set the oven temperature to 200°C.ABOUT In the oven and off you go. To make a fluffy and delicious dough, first beat the chilled eggs until they double in volume. In a separate bowl, beat the butter until thick, airy, and fluffy, then combine the two beaten ingredients and add the flour. Next, add the zest and nuts. Knead the dough.
Sprinkle the desired pan with flour and walnuts, then pour in the dough and bake in the oven until done. If desired, you can decorate the cake with powdered sugar, nuts, or drizzle it with chocolate. This recipe makes a soft, tender, and delicious cake that will become a traditional dish at many family celebrations.
Recipe #2. Sour Cream Cake with Walnuts
