Description

Saftiger Walnusskuchen mit zartem Mürbeteig, goldbraun gebacken. Knackige Walnüsse in karamelliger Butter-Zucker-Schicht sorgen für einen köstlichen Kontrast aus knuspriger Oberfläche und weichem Kern.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 300 g Mehl
  • 150 g Butter
  • 80 g Zucker
  • 1 Ei
  • Fett für die Form
  • 300 g Walnüsse, grob gehackt
  • 2 EL Butter
  • 150 g Zucker
  • 150 g Sahne
  • 50 g Honig
  • 1 Messerspitze Zimt
  • 1 Eigelb

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing the shortcrust dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, butter (cut into small pieces), sugar, and egg. Using your hands or a pastry cutter, knead the ingredients together until a smooth dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for about 30 minutes to allow it to firm up and rest.
  2. While the dough chills, prepare the walnut filling. In a large saucepan or deep skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 150 g of sugar and stir continuously until the mixture turns a golden brown and becomes a caramel. Be careful not to let it burn.
  3. Once the caramel is ready, carefully pour in the cream, add the honey and a pinch of cinnamon. Stir well to incorporate all ingredients. Bring the mixture briefly to a boil, stirring constantly, until everything is well combined and smooth.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the coarsely chopped walnuts. Mix thoroughly so that all the nuts are coated in the caramel mixture. Set the filling aside to cool to room temperature.
  5. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) top and bottom heat. Line the bottom of a springform pan (about 26 cm in diameter) with baking paper, and grease the sides of the pan with butter or your preferred fat to prevent sticking.
  6. Take the chilled dough out of the refrigerator. Set aside a small portion (about a fifth) of the dough for the lattice topping. Roll out the remaining dough on a lightly floured surface to fit the bottom and sides of the prepared springform pan. Gently press the dough into the pan, making sure to cover the bottom completely and to build up an edge about 3–4 cm high.
  7. Spread the cooled walnut filling evenly over the prepared dough base in the pan. Smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Fold any dough that extends above the edge of the filling over the top to help seal the cake.
  8. Roll out the reserved dough thinly and cut it into strips about 1 cm wide. Lay the strips over the walnut filling in a crisscross pattern to create a lattice. If desired, press the ends of the strips gently into the edge of the dough to secure them.
  9. In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk with a fork. Use a pastry brush to brush the lattice strips and the edge of the dough with the beaten egg yolk for a shiny, golden finish.
  10. Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. Remove the walnut cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan before removing the springform ring.
  11. Once completely cooled, transfer the cake to a serving platter. Slice and serve the walnut cake plain or dusted with powdered sugar, accompanied by a cup of coffee or tea.

Notes

For best results, allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts and for the flavors to fully develop. You can store the walnut cake in an airtight container at room temperature for several days. Optionally, you can add a dash of vanilla extract to the filling for extra aroma. Serve with whipped cream for a special treat.
