Sometimes I enjoy browsing cooking sites and blogs on the web, especially in the French language, a language I adore and, although my school days are long gone, I always try to keep it alive in my mind, and this is certainly a very pleasant way to do it!!!
While surfing the web, I found a beautiful blog this and this delicious recipe for a walnut cake with coffee glaze, perfect for the cold season (which seems to be coming) and very fluffy, a true delight!
The walnut is a fruit that is very good for the heart, and it is recommended to have a snack with a few kernels; it is used for creamy dressings for pasta, added to salads and bowls of vegetables and legumes, and much more!
I also suggest other recipes with walnuts such as:

- Portions: 20/22 cm cake pan
- Cooking methods: Oven
- Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients for WALNUT CAKE WITH COFFEE GLAZE
- 5.3 oz walnut kernels (ground into flour)
- 4 medium eggs
- 1.2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp instant coffee (dissolved in a little water)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 0.66 cup butter (soft)
- as needed powdered sugar (for the glaze)
- as needed instant coffee (for the glaze)
- as needed water (gradually and carefully for the glaze)
FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE WALNUT CAKE WITH COFFEE GLAZE
Separate the egg whites from the yolks and place them in 2 separate bowls.
Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form and set them aside.
Beat the soft butter with the sugar to obtain a soft and light mixture.
Dilute the instant coffee with a little water, then add it with the egg yolks to the butter mixture.
Continue beating with an electric mixer and add the chopped walnuts using a food processor.
Sift the all-purpose flour with the baking powder and add the dry ingredients to the mixture, alternating with the whipped egg whites using a flexible spatula.
You will obtain a very creamy and fluid mixture that you will pour into the already buttered and floured baking pan.
All that remains is to bake the walnut cake with coffee glaze in the preheated oven at 356°F, letting it cook for about 40 minutes or depending on the characteristics of your appliance.
While the cake cools, preferably on a cooling rack, prepare the glaze by putting 100/150 grams of powdered sugar in a small bowl, adding a bit of instant coffee and water.
Mix vigorously and adjust the fluidity of the mixture and pour it over the top to cover the cake entirely.
Before it solidifies, place 7/8 walnut halves and… enjoy it so much…
Bon appétit!
