Hi Bee. Can I substitute milk with yoghurt? If yes, how many spoons should I add? Thanks.
Same.
Hi, can you confirm if you meant unsalted or salted butter please. Thanks.
Salted butter as the recipe stated.
Ok, thanks. The list of ingredients in your main article itself says “unsalted butter”. I will give it a go.
Ah I see. Sorry, it was a typo.
Hi.. Is there anything I can use to replace the eggs? Because my little one is allergic to eggs.
No.
Sounds delicious. I’m making it tomorrow!
Hi , I just tried it today. i am the only one in the house so I was looking for recipes for small portions fortunately I have seen this recipe. it was very successful, rise very well. baked very well and very tasty. Thank you.
Yummy walnut cake recepi ……. I tried 3 times and it came out very well . Everyone liked It … thank u for ur recepi and pls post carrot cake recepi ..
Awesome.
I have baked this twice and absolutely love it, Thank you for sharing
Awesome!
Tried this on half portion, taste great! Just wondering if I am using grounded walnut, it should be at the same weight of 60g – considering the oil released during grinding process. (Forgot to weight before throwing them into food processor)
Just use the same weight.
Not really big enough for a 75 birthday cake but it will do as only four people as we are social distancing forgot to add whole walnuts but will fix with a little butter icing smells divine xx
Hi Bee,
was wondering what fine sugar is? Is it icing sugar or is regular granulated sugar fine? Also, I saw in your butter cake recipe that we can use evaporated milk instead of milk, can this be substituted here for the same amount?
Thanks and can’t wait to try it!:)
Hi sorry, in addition to my previous comment, would I be able to use plain flour for this thanks!:)
Should be fine.
Plain flour is the same as all-purpose flour
Delicious I follow you from Guadalajara, Mexico , I love all you recepies !
Awesome thanks Monica.
Fine sugar is regular sugar that is fine. Yes.
Fine sugar is caster sugar in English recipes.
Could I grind up regular sugar to make it finer?
You can try.
Awesome recipe! It turned out wonderful. Just nice sweetness, soft and the ground walnut added an amazing flavour to it. I scaled the portion and did it for 6 servings instead of 4 servings. Used a round 8 inch tin and it filled half if it. Thanks again for the awesome recipe.
