Description

This slightly moist cake with a pleasant nutty flavor will look festive if decorated with whipped cream.

Ingredients

Walnuts - 8.8 oz
Wheat Flour - 6.2 oz
Baking Powder - 1 teaspoon
Butter - 4.4 oz
Honey - 2.6 oz
Sugar - 2 tablespoons
Farm fresh eggs - 2 pieces
Orange zest - 1½ teaspoons

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 347°F. Grease and flour an 18 cm round cake pan.

Step 2

Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven for 6 minutes. Chop the walnuts in a food processor with half of the flour, then mix the ground walnuts with the remaining flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the butter with honey and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with the orange zest. Gradually add to the butter mixture in three additions. Add the dry ingredients and mix.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes. While the cake is baking, toast 6-8 walnut halves in the oven on a baking sheet for 8 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of honey and mix.
