Question from KJR
I have tried several of your recipes and they have all been fabulous.
But today I tried to make your nut cake for a friend’s birthday. It did not work at all. I’ve never made a cake without flour before, so I knew the batter would look different, but it was very runny and egg-like instead of “batter-like”. As it cooked, it rose like a souffle and then dropped when I took it out. It was a total loss.
Any idea where I went wrong? I used all the same ingredients without substitution.
Thanks!
P.S. I also made the crumb cake and it was excellent!
Debra’s Answer
I test all the recipes in my kichen before I publish them, so I know they work. Perhaps…the recipe says “finely chop the nuts…” They should be almost as fine as flour, like corn meal. Did you chop your nuts this fine?
Has anyone else made this recipe? Did you have success or no?
This is an excellent cake, so I want to make sure my instructions can be successfully followed.
