Preparation: 10 minutes
Baking time: 30 minutes
Ingredients (for 6 people):
150 g Grenoble walnuts (shelled)
40 g flour
3 eggs (available in our store)
150 g powdered sugar
100 g butter
(available in our store)
2 tbsp Armagnac AOC
1 pinch of salt
Preparation:
Finely chop the nuts and mix with half of the powdered sugar. Mix the other half of the sugar with the softened butter. Now add the nut-sugar mixture, followed by the eggs, salt, flour, and Armagnac, one by one.
Grease a 22 cm diameter tart pan with butter, pour the dough into it, and bake for about 30 minutes at 200°C. The cake is ready when it's lightly golden brown and still moist inside.
You can serve the cake with a cream of your choice, drizzle with caramel or chocolate sauce, or decorate it with nut halves or even fruit. Whatever you like is allowed!
It can be kept in the refrigerator for several days and can also be easily frozen.
