SCRUMPTIOUS WALNUT CAKE
Läcker valnötstårta

A fine cake with chocolate, walnuts and coffee. Serve with fresh berries and whipped cream.

1 cake, 8 to 10 pieces

2 oz baking chocolate in pieces
¼ cup oil
salt
1/3 cup strong coffee
1 egg
¼ cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
1 teaspoon Swedish sweet arrack punsch
or liqueur of your choice
1 cup flour
1 cup chopped walnuts

Chocolate glazing:
5 oz baking chocolate in pieces
1 tablespoon oil


Heat chocolate, oil, salt and coffee over a waterbath until the chocolate has melted. Pour the chocolate mixture in a mixing bowl and add sugar, egg, cream, baking powder, vanilla sugar and punsch or liqueur. Beat with an electric beater until well blended. Add flour and beat for about 3 minutes. Make sure to scrape down the batter from the sides of the bowl. Stir in half of the nuts.

Pour in a greased, floured baking pan and bake in the lower part of the oven at 350F for 35 to 40 minutes or until the cake starts to loosen from the edges of the pan. Allow to cool in the pan, then transfer to a baking paper.

Heat chocolate and oil for the glazing over a waterbath. Spread the glazing over the cake in an even layer. Sprinkle with remaining nuts.

Enjoy!
