what can we substitute walnut with?? i’m having trouble finding walnut in my local groceries

[@CasualCookery]

Oh, I also make this cake with salted peanuts. It's amazing! Also, caramelized almonds or pecans. But peanuts version is amazing

[@suhashininaidu9947]

mind sharing the cake pan size that we can use for this?

[@CasualCookery]

Hi! Sure, it's a 24 cm diameter cake pan.

[@Last_Respecter]

How did you get this cake to come out like this from the oven without any baking powder, oil or butter (talking about the cake only not the buttercream) . I followed your steps and the cake came out much more dry and hard instead of soft and spongey

[@CasualCookery]

Hi! It means you haven't mix it enough with the hand mixer or stand mixer. You have to mix it until you get a very foamy mixture. Sometimes, with the hand mixer can take even 30 minutes. Then you have to make very gentle moves when adding the flour and cocoa powder and never over whisk. The mixture needs to stay as much as possible foamy. This is the recipe I use for so, so many years. Never added butter or baking powder. Try to make it in a small quantity and a small spring form, just to get used with the mixture texture. After you nail it once, you'll love it! I promise you!

Why are you so underrated?

[@CasualCookery]

Well, that's a question I can really answer cause I don't know. Maybe because I started earlier this year only.
