This is a moist-textured walnut cake with rolled oats, but the real secret comes from dry-roasting the nuts before adding them to the mixture.

Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 8 min.

Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C).

Spread 6.3 oz walnut kernels out on a baking sheet and dry roast in the oven for 8 minutes to bring out the flavour.

Stage 2 - 1 hour

Weigh 15.8 oz Egg, put into a bowl and leave for at least 1 hour to come to room temperature.

Take the butter out of the fridge as well and leave at room temperature for at least 1 hour.

Stage 3 - 3 min.

Put 13.6 oz butter and 13.2 oz caster sugar into a food-mixer bowl.

Stage 4 - 3 min.

Beat on medium/high speed until thoroughly mixed.

Stage 5 - 3 min.

Add the eggs one at a time and continue beating.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

The mixture may curdle slightly, with bits of butter that do not mix in properly.

If this happens, stop beating and stand the bowl in a pan of hot water. Beat by hand until the mixture becomes smooth again (about 1 minute).

Stage 7 - 2 min.

Sieve 1 lb + 0.5 oz flour, 1.1 oz baking powder and 3 pinches fine (or table) salt together.

Stage 8 - 3 min.

Add the walnuts and 15.8 oz rolled oats to the flour and mix.

Stage 9 - 30 min.

Tip this into the food-mixer bowl and fold in using a soft spatula.

Stage 10 - 40 min.

Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C).

Put the cake mixture into a tin or mould and bake for about 40 minutes. Check to see if it cooked 5 minutes before the end of cooking time.

Stage 11

Leave to cool on a wire rack.

Remarks

The longer the mixture has to stand before cooking, the more the flavours will develop, so you can prepare it the day before cooking and leave overnight in the fridge.

Keeping: A few days, wrapped in aluminium foil.

I love walnuts, so I tried this wonderful cake... easy to prepaire and delicious! The suggestion to dry roast the walnuts helps to a very intensiv walnuts taste, when the cake is ready. My only change was to add a spoon of rum to the egg and sugar mixture.
