WALNUT CAKE original recipe 75g of walnuts, 125g of butter, 175g of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar, 3 eggs, 175g of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugars until fluffy, add the eggs one by one while mixing, then stir in the roughly chopped walnuts along with the flour and baking powder, mixing gently. Pour the mixture into a well-greased and floured mold, bake in the oven at medium heat for 45 minutes, then unmold onto a cooling rack and let it cool. In the meantime, melt 50g of dark chocolate and 25g of butter in a double boiler for the frosting, and decorate with halved walnut halves. -

Delicious !!!! and quite light to eat! Ah, the memories of "mom's" cakes! Thank you for the recipes: family cakes are always a delight and they also speak to our hearts! I love it, thank you for sharing her famous recipe with us: really has a good nutty taste, not heavy, moist.... don’t change a thing! -

For my part, I reduced the oil by half and added a tablespoon of flower honey, which is not too strong, to the dough. I also increased the cooking time by an additional 5 minutes for crispiness. A delight!!! -

Quick Good recipe, very simple and quick. Useful for little setbacks. My suggestion: I would use a little less oil for my next attempt.
