Easy Walnut Cake

Room-Temperature Ingredients: Bring eggs and milk to room temperature for smoother batter and better volume.

Use Clean Bowls: Ensure the bowl and beaters for whipping egg whites are grease-free to achieve proper peaks.

Gentle Folding: Use a spatula and a light hand when combining whites and batter—incorporate from edges to center.

Check Doneness: Use a slender skewer; it should come out clean from the cake base but may have soft crumbs on the meringue layer.

Rest Before Cutting: Allow the cake to cool fully to prevent the meringue from cracking when sliced.

Variations to Try
Chocolate Walnut Cake: Fold in 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder and sprinkle semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter.

Citrus Zest Twist: Add 1 tsp lemon or orange zest to the batter for a bright, aromatic note.

Honey-Pecan Topping: Swap walnuts for pecans and drizzle the meringue with honey before the second bake.

Spiced Nut Cake: Stir in ½ tsp ground cinnamon and nutmeg to the batter for cozy warmth.

Fruit-Folded Meringue: Mix in 50 g chopped dried cranberries or apricots into the meringue for bursts of tart sweetness.
