Ewuta is coming over today, so I thought something nice and sweet for the coffee perhaps…

I baked off the simple sponge- 2 eggs, separated, whites whipped up with half a glass of sugar, yolks added by the end, 2 tbsp of plain flour and 1 tbsp of potato flour with some baking powder added and folded in, then baked for about 30 mins.

The walnut creme is my Mum’s recipe; some ground walnuts just covered with boiling milk, chilled. In a separate dish about a 3/4 of a baking margarine, softened, 3 tbsp of icing sugar, a spoon of cocoa, some vanilla sugar – all this beaten up with an electric mixer, walnuts added one spoon full at a time.

The sponge is then cut in half, some of the creme spread in the middle, some on top and on the sides. Best to chill the whole thing for about 2 hours before serving.

Hope she likes it! 🙂
