Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Nuts: Use fresh, high-quality walnuts for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have walnuts on hand, you can substitute pecans or almonds.
  • Measuring Flour Correctly: To ensure accurate measurements, use a kitchen scale to weigh the flour. If using measuring cups, fluff the flour with a spoon before scooping it into the cup.
  • Mixing the Batter: Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no streaks of flour remain.
  • Baking the Cake: Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with wet batter or crumbs attached, continue baking for a few more minutes.
  • Cooling the Cake: Let the cake cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze set properly and prevent it from running off the cake.
