Friends, today I came up with an excellent idea to bake a very delicate and fragrant walnut cake. Recently, I have accumulated a lot of nuts and I decided that they should definitely be used in baking. Nuts definitely decorate the cake and give it a wonderful nutty flavor and aroma, it's just incredibly delicious!
And if the nut cake is decorated with mascarpone cream, the cake will become even more juicy with a delicate creamy taste. As an ornament, you can use any berries and fruits. I came up with the idea of using pears as decorations and fresh mint for a pleasant scent.
Nut cake is perfect for family tea drinking and will decorate any of your holiday.
The recipe for a nutcake is so simple that you want to cook it all the time, adding different nuts, berries and dried fruits.
