Walnut Cake

Name: Walnut Cake
Ingredients: 2 cups flour; 1 cup sugar; 3 eggs; walnuts; 150g butter

What you need

Salt, pepper, water and oil don’t count. Mom always had those.

Cream butter and sugar, add eggs, fold in flour with baking powder, then roughly broken walnuts. Bake forty-five minutes.

Breaking walnuts with your hands rather than chopping them keeps the pieces interesting.

Toast the walnuts first for five minutes. Raw ones taste papery in a cake.
