Walnut cake
Finally over the heat, and became cool and windy - it's now a St. Petersburg summer. No longer scary to think about the oven, than not an occasion to prepare a simple nut cake? Light cakes, custard and all nuts, nuts...

Ingredients

  • Potato starch

    6 Tbsp

  • Walnuts

    250 g

  • Sugar

    1 cup

  • Chicken egg

    5 piece

  • Flour

    1 Tbsp

  • Milk

    1.5 cup

  • Butter

    100 g

  • Coffee natural

    200 ml

Cooking

step-0
For the dough, separate the whites from the yolks, the whites (well-chilled) add a pinch of salt and whisk them in a solid foam.
step-1
The egg yolks in a separate bowl, whisk with sugar.
step-2
Add about a third of the protein foam, whisk. Then add walnuts, starch, whisk.
step-3
Add the remaining egg whites, gently whisk, it turns out the batter. Pour it into the form lined with baking paper, put in preheated oven and bake on low heat (I have at 175 deg. was ready in 20 min.), check the match stuck into the cake, it should come out dry. Put the cake to cool.
step-4
To prepare the cream, mix the nuts, sugar, milk and flour, stirring constantly, bring to a boil, then low heat cook until thick, stirring all the time. I cooked a few minutes, a very thick consistency ought not to be, as in the process of cooling the future the cream will become even thicker. Remove from heat and set to cool.
step-5
When nut blank for cream has cooled, beat into a soft mousse butter (10-15 minutes before taken out of the fridge). Oil always better to take only natural, from the purchase of Margarines savings are questionable, and their composition is depressing. First, beat butter on low speed, then increase it.
step-6
To add oil walnut billet, beat again slowly at first and then at maximum speed for a few minutes so that the cream is lighter and airy.
step-7
The cooled cake cut into two parts. Here such it turns out, light, fine.
step-8
Cakes must be very well impregnated. The impregnation is one of the main secrets of a successful cake - it should be a lot. Rather than soak - is not so important. I brewed strong coffee, cooled and properly soaked both cookie monster. Pay special attention to the edges. So, on a plate put the cake impregnated with it, spread half of the cream, put the second, also soaked, the cake, and the remnants of the cream. To decorate the cakes I do not know and do not like, so I just sprinkled the top with the same chopped nuts.
step-9
Next, the cake is better to send in the refrigerator overnight or at least for a few hours - will be tastier. Bon appetite and good summer days!)))
