This recipe is special meant for those who do not
like creamy type of cakes and I am one of them J ! Munching nuts could be an
additive but how would it taste if we added in a cake?
I have chosen walnuts, almonds and pistachios to
blend in with butter base cake.
Why these 3 types of nuts? Walnuts – one of the best plant sources of
protein, rich in fiber too. It bring
together with almonds that are lower in saturated fat and contain many other
protective nutrients. How can we miss
out pistachios for its delicious and its color to brighten up your cake?
You will love the combination – the crunchy nuts
with the butter base that comes along with some coffee essence and chocolate
milk. It’s definitely a best choice for
tea time. Trust me, when you have done
with the first piece, you certainly will look for the second piece.
It is a rather simple recipe and an easy home-made
cake. I am sure you will like it. I have to go for my tea break now!

Looks very interesting! I prefer cakes with nuts much more than raisins or any other dried fruits. During the christmas season, when my family bakes fruit cake, i would ask them to do a batch without the fruits for me.

ReplyDeleteHow can we ensure that the nuts still remain crunchy in the cake after a day or two? Sorry I have to ask.... I'm a newbie.
ReplyDeleteHi Mike, so sorry for my late reply. For some reasons, I had missed your comment. To answer your question, you may roast or toss your nuts before you add in to the batter. Hope this tip able to help you.
