Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 200 g granulated sugar - 1 cup
- 100 g butter - 7 tablespoons
- 40 ml coffee - 2 ½ tablespoons, espresso
- 100 ml milk - ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon
- 150 g walnuts - ~5 oz, chopped + extra for garnish
- 250 g flour - 1 ⅔ cups
- 16 g baking powder - 4 teaspoons
- powdered sugar - for decoration
Instructions
- In two separate bowls, separate the egg yolks from the egg whites.
- Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Set them aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the egg yolks and sugar, then beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the softened butter, milk, and coffee while continuing to mix.
- Slowly incorporate the flour, a little at a time, until fully combined. Once the batter is smooth, add the baking powder and mix for a few more seconds.
- Put the shelled walnuts in a plastic food bag and chop them into small pieces with a meat pounder. You can also use a chopper if you like. I preferred to crush them by hand to get bigger pieces in the cake.
- Now, add the chopped walnuts and gently fold them into the batter using a spatula or wooden spoon, making sure they are evenly distributed.
- Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the batter, adding them in small amounts at a time. Use a gentle folding motion from the bottom to the top to maintain the airy texture of the mixture.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) for a conventional oven or 340°F (170°C) for a fan-assisted oven.
- Line the bottom of a 22 cm (9 inch) springform pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely before removing it from the pan.
- Once the cake has cooled, transfer it to a serving plate and generously dust the surface with powdered sugar.
- Decorate with walnut halves or pieces for a beautiful finishing touch. Your Soft Walnut Cake is now ready! Moist, fluffy, and full of nutty flavor—perfect for any occasion! Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea.
