Flourless Walnut Cake

I couldn't believe how good this turned out. The texture was amazing considering it was made out of ground walnuts and eggs. It tasted like a walnut brownie.

I made it for Thanksgiving and my daughter was a little suspicious of it, but I let her sprinkle some confectioners sugar on it and she liked it. There's just a little sliver left.

I got the recipe out of the book "Going against the Grain".

Are there any other recipes that use nut meal that I'm missing?

I got my Coconut Book and the other book with the almond flour recipes today. Haven't tried any yet, but both books look great. I'm really excited! :)

I hope it's okay to do this.

It's from the book by Melissa Diane Smith and the book is called Going against the Grain.

Chocolate Walnut Cake

2 1/2 cups ground walnuts

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

5 large eggs

1 cup maple sugar (I used organic sugar, as I wasn't sure what maple sugar was)

Confectioners sugar (optional)

I ground the walnuts with some of the sugar so it didn't turn into walnut butter.

Her instructions:

Preheat oven to 350. Oil an 8 inch nonstick cake pan and line bottom with parchment paper (I used wax paper and I used a 9 inch pan) Mix the ground nuts with the cocoa powder. Add eggs one at a time and mix well and then add sugar. When all eggs are added, beat well. Spoon into cake pan and place on the middle or upper oven rack, and bake for 25 to 35 mins or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. ( I cooked mine 35 mins and there was still a bit of chocolate on my toothpick, but I went ahead and took it out anyway) Let it cool 10 mins and turn out of pan and remove paper.

When I took it out of the pan, I let it cool a bit before I turned it over into a plate and then added the confectioners sugar.

She has some other recipes in the book that look really good. I've had the book awhile and never tried the recipe section til now.

Thanks for sharing your recipe! I think its okay that you posted it since you sited where you got the recipe from. It looks wonderful! I like the fact that it doesn't call for flour since gluten free flour can get expensive. I can't wait to try it!

Thanks David!

I checked out your recipes and that Chocolate Dream Dessert looked wonderful. Too bad I can't get a hold of mascarpone cheese. I don't even know what double cream is.

Sounds yummy though.

I figure as long as I don't post all the recipes she is at least getting advertising, in a way.

I hope you like the recipe, I did. It would go well with some chocolate icing too, I just left it off because I didn't need the extra calories.

I thought this recipe looked interesting, but I'm not sure about saffron threads or what you could use in place of them. (Any ideas?)

ALMOND SLICES (makes 8)

3 eggs

2/3 oz. ground almonds

7 oz. dried milk

7 oz. sugar

1/2 tsp. saffron threads

3 1/2 oz. unsalted butter

flaked almonds to decorate

1. Beat the eggs together in a bowl and set aside.

2. Place he ground almonds, dried milk, sugar and saffron in a large mixing bowl and mix well.

3. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Pour the melted butter over the dry ingredients and mix well until thouroughly blended.

4. Add the reserved beaten eggs to the mixture and mix well.

5. Spread the mixture in a shallow 9' square pan and bake in a preheated oven 325 degrees for 45 minutes or until a fine metal skewer comes out clean.

6. Cut the almond cake into 8 slices. Decorate with flaked almonds to serve. Serve hot or cold.

Hi 'hayley3',

Mascarpone cheese is a soft Italian cheese and is used a lot in Italian type desserts like 'Tiramsu' etc,

it comes in a tub and you should be able to find it at the deli or cheese counter of your local

Supermarket or large Convenience Store.

.

Double Cream is a high fat content cream or Thick whipping cream ( Cholesterol City here we come!).

Best Regards,

David

I just made this and I love it! I used almond meal instead of walnuts as my dh doesn't like walnut. It is great, it does taste a lot like a brownie to me. I drizzled icing over top (the icing from the pumpkin bars, cream cheese, butter, icing sugar and vanilla) and it's very pretty and tastes wonderful. Thank you so much for posting this recipe. After my Thanksgiving pie and cookie disasters I was sure I wouldn't be able to pull off a decent dessert again! :D :D

Wow sounds wonderful! I wonder if I could make it egg free and use egg replacer since that is alot of eggs to replace ;) ?

Thank you david and wowzer too, they look so good.

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic.

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
