Eleanor Ozich of Petite Kitchen creates a simple flourless cake using three ingredients.
This flourless walnut cake is quite possibly the simplest cake I have ever made. Incredibly moist, the recipe calls only for three ingredients, walnuts, eggs and natural unrefined sugar. I have used rapadura, although coconut sugar or muscovado would work well.
FLOURLESS WALNUT CAKE WITH THREE INGREDIENTS Serves 8
• 3½cups walnuts • 4 large free range eggs • 1 cup rapadura, coconut or muscovado sugar
Optional: • 1-2 tsp ground cinnamon • Grated zest of one lemon • Coconut flour or icing sugar for dusting
1. Preheat oven to 160C, and grease or line a cake tin with baking paper.
2. Process walnuts for 1-2 minutes in a food processor until nuts resemble a dense flour.
3. In a large bowl, add ground walnuts, eggs and sugar. Mix until well combined.
4. Pour mixture into prepared cake tin, and then bake in oven for 30-40 minutes, or until golden on top, and the middle springs back slightly when touched.
