Preparation procedure

  • Preparing the cake base Preheat the oven to 180 °C (160 °C for fan-assisted ovens). In a bowl, mix the sifted flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt. In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until light and fluffy (takes 5–7 minutes). Then gradually pour in the melted butter and gently mix. Add the flour and ground walnuts alternately, finally fold in the cream and optionally the tablespoon of rum.
  • Baking the base Pour the batter into a greased and floured 24 cm cake pan. Bake for 40–45 minutes. The cake base is done when a skewer inserted comes out dry. Let it cool completely.
  • Preparing the cream Whip the cream with the powdered and vanilla sugar until stiff. Chill in the refrigerator so it holds its shape.
  • Filling and assembly Cut the cooled cake base into two layers. Spread half of the cream on the bottom layer and sprinkle with some chopped walnuts. Top with the second layer and spread the remaining cream. Sprinkle the sides and top with walnuts or cover with glaze.
  • Resting Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. The flavors will meld and the cream will firm up.
