Walnut and Cinnamon Cake Recipe
Ingredients
Directions
For the cake:
- In a bowl, beat the brown sugar with the honey and the butter until it turns into a cream.
- Separate the yolks from the egg whites and add the egg yolks to the previous cream and beat until a fluffy cream is obtained.
- Add the ground walnut, the flour, the baking powder, the cinnamon and the fennel. Mix well but don't beat.
- Beat the egg whites and incorporate them gently into the previous preparation. Pour the dough into a pre-greased, rounded paper-lined form and bake for approximately 30 minutes at 180°C or 350°F or until it's baked (do the toothpick test).
- Let it cool, unmold and place it on a serving plate.
For the icing:
- In a saucepan, heat all the ingredients, stirring constantly with a whisk until it boils and the butter melts.
- Remove it from the heat and allow it to cool completely before pouring it over the cake.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute walnuts with another type of nut?
Yes, you can substitute walnuts with pecans, almonds, or hazelnuts. Just make sure to grind them finely, similar to walnuts, for the best texture in the cake.
How should I store the Walnut and Cinnamon Cake?
Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it longer, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to a week, or freeze it for up to 3 months.
What should I do if my cake didn't rise properly?
If your cake didn't rise, it could be due to expired baking powder, overmixing the batter, or not incorporating the egg whites gently enough. Always check the freshness of your baking powder and mix the batter lightly to keep it airy.
