Chocolate Walnut Cake

This is another recipe given free when I bought my first oven and so fast all the recipes that I have tried out are really good.

This is another very good one. I give my friend a whole cake (see below) and her family like it very much. Her daughter even brought some to school to share with her friends! :P

I used the rest of the batter to bake in cups instead.

• 200g Coarsely Chopped Walnuts

(E)

• 10 Egg Whites
• 120g Caster Sugar

(F)

• 80g Halfed/Quartered Walnuts as toppings

How to do it:

1. Prepare greased 9" cake tin (I used rectangle foil tin).
2. Preheat oven at 180C.
3. Beat (A) till light and creamy.
4. Add in (B) slowly.
5. Gradually add in (C) and mix evenly.
6. Fold in (D).
7. In another bowl, whisk (E) at high speed till peaks.
8. Fold in to first bowl to form a smooth batter.
9. Pour into cake tin and top with (F).
10. Bake for 45 minutes or till done. Check using toothpick test.
11. Remove from mould immediately.
