When I saw this delicious Greek Walnut cake in Peter's blog Kalofagas - Greek Food & Beyond I knew I would make them as they looked so good.If you want to make this cake your self you can get the recipie from here.
If you have not visited this Haven of Greek food blog, then you are missing all the delicious food is prepared there.This recipie is from his mom.
While mixing the 10 whole eggs and the sugar i was in reall panic as i though it looked really runny and it was not looking like it will get into a soft peak.So in the panic I mailed him ( hoping that he will check the mail) saying weather he wrote the recipie correct, if it was just egg yolks or full eggs I had to use.
He send a mail back in few minuted saying the recipe is correct just I've to beat the mixture for 10 minutes.While all these going on my daughter just came back from her school and I send her immidietly to the near by bakers ( they sell eggs and butter too) and told her to buy 6 eggs thinking I will have to start all over again.
See one should not panic, just do exactly as in the recipie.
The cake was really delicious, when it was almost cool, my daughter and I had a piece ( we coudn't wait). After the first bite she said yumm this cake is delicious.
I also got this wonderful
from Uma of Essence of Andhra. Thankyou Uma.
I would like to pass it to Arfi Binsted of HomeMades , Ruth Elkin of Ruth's Kitchen Experiments , Srivalli of Cooking 4 all season.and Jayashree of My Experiment with food the list can go on and on, but most of you have this award :-)
