If you’re familiar with my recipes you’ll know that almost all of them contain ground almonds - but for a change I thought I’d try using ground walnuts instead, and the result was amazing!
Because this cake is topped with whipped cream, it’s best eaten the day it’s made, which you won’t be upset with, I promise!
