Today I present a beautiful and delicious cake, the walnut cake: a delicate aroma, a soft dough with walnuts, a smooth glaze, and small fruits decorating the top crown of the dessert.

This cake will be one of the desserts I will bring to Christmas lunch with my relatives and I hope they will like it too!

Instead of walnuts, we can use almonds and we can also change the final decoration by maybe adding a rocher glaze, other fruits like citrus…

Mix well with a flexible spatula.
Butter and flour the bundt pan or spray all over with a release spray then pour the batter, leveling well.
Bake in a static oven preheated to 340°F (170/180°C) for about 35-40 minutes or according to the characteristics of our home oven.
