Light & Luscious, this cake is delicious served "as is" or with whipped Cream or yoghurt

 

1 1/2cups chopped walnuts

1 cup plain flour

1 Tbsp baking powder

4 large eggs

1 cup sugar

  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Spray a 23cm-diameter spring-form cake pan with oil. Line with baking paper.

  • Pulse the walnuts in a food processor until finely chopped but not floury. Combine with the flour and baking powder in medium bowl.

  • Use an electric mixer, beat the eggs in a large bowl until frothy, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the sugar, beating until thick and pale yellow, about 4 minutes.
