Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make Walnut cake with walnuts? First, prepare the necessary ingredients. Take the highest grade flour. The butter and eggs should be at room temperature, so remove them from the refrigerator in advance. Sour cream should not be watery, with a fat content of 15-20%. Instead of cane sugar, you can use regular white sugar.

Step 2

Step 2
In a bowl, combine the egg and sugar and mix with a whisk. You can leave the mixture for 10 minutes so that the sugar is completely dissolved.

Step 3

Step 3
Add sour cream and soft butter and mix again.

Step 4

Step 4
Gradually add the flour sifted with baking powder and salt.

Step 5

Step 5
Knead into a soft, elastic, non-sticky dough. If necessary, adjust the amount of flour up or down. Look at the consistency.

Step 6

Step 6
Roll the dough into small balls the size of a walnut or slightly smaller.

Step 7

Step 7
Place the resulting balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 180°C and bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. The balls should remain soft.

Step 8

Step 8
Place the finished dough balls in a bowl and cool. If you donʼt want to fuss with the dough, you can replace the balls with ready-made cookies of the same shape.

Step 9

Step 9
Now prepare the cream. Take high-quality cocoa, for example, Golden Label. Low-quality cocoa can crunch on your teeth. Instead of cane sugar, you can use regular white sugar. Large, selected eggs are needed. If the eggs are small, take 3 pieces.

Step 10

Step 10
In a bowl, combine eggs and sugar and stir until smooth.

Step 11

Step 11
Add the sifted flour and cocoa and mix with a whisk until smooth.

Step 12

Step 12
While stirring constantly, pour in milk at room temperature.

Step 13

Step 13
Pour the mixture into a saucepan and place on low heat. Cook the cream, stirring continuously, until thickened. When the cream thickens, remove the saucepan from the heat.

Step 14

Step 14
Add butter to chocolate custard and stir until smooth. Cool the cream slightly. It should be warm. Hot cream can greatly soak previously baked cookies and they will lose their shape.

Step 15

Step 15
While the cream is cooling, chop the walnuts with a knife or break them into small pieces with your hands. You can replace walnuts with hazelnuts, pecans or other nuts to taste.

Step 16

Step 16
Place the previously baked cookies and chopped walnuts in a bowl. Add warm chocolate cream and stir quickly.

Step 17

Step 17
Place the resulting mass in a heap on a dish. Decorate the cake with halves of shelled walnuts and refrigerate overnight.

Step 18

Step 18
Cut the finished cake into portions and serve. Bon appetit!
