Walnut Cake - General Cooking Principles
Nuts can be added to a variety of cakes based on biscuit, honey, sand cakes. They combine perfectly with puff napoleon and make even a simple dessert from cookies or ordinary gingerbread chic. Nuts go well with condensed milk, sour cream, butter, cream and soft cheeses. Therefore, you can also experiment with creams. The only thing to do is lightly fry the kernels. So they will be much tastier and more aromatic.
Any cake will be tastier if you let it brew. It is better to prepare dessert in advance so that it stands in the refrigerator for at least 10 hours. But a few days before the event, making a cake is also not worth it, since the shelf life of homemade cream baking does not exceed 3 days, and this is subject to the use of only fresh products.

Walnut Cake - Tips & Tricks
• In order not to fry the nuts separately, they can be dried in the oven before baking the cakes, while the stove is warming up, or after it.
• If there are few nuts, but you want to sprinkle the cake completely, you can grate cookies or crumble cake trimmings and mix with nuts. The coating will be more beautiful.
• To give the cream or impregnation a taste of walnuts, you can simply add a couple of spoons of brandy.
• There are many ways to grind nuts. Someone likes to grind into crumbs, rub or cut with a knife. But you can simply lay it out on a cutting board and roll it with a rolling pin so many times until the size of the pieces starts to suit.
• If you need to "plant" nuts on chocolate icing, then this is done immediately during coating.
