Recipe Review
Queezle_Sister from Salt Lake City, UT
We loved this cake! It contains very little flour, and instead the body is largely composed of chopped walnuts and the crumb of your choice. Like Peckish sister, I used Panko. This mixture also contains separated eggs, with the whites beaten and folded in. I was quite skeptical, it looked different from almost every cake I've ever prepared, but my worries were unfounded.
Like PS, the most difficult part, we found, was waiting. First you wait for the cake to cool, then you slice and apply syrup. Then you wait for the syrup to penetrate - over night. I will confess to snitching a small piece for breakfast, and it went very well with a cup of strong coffee.
