Crisp walnut and raisin cake is a quick sweet treat to serve with coffee, with walnuts and raisins taking center stage rather than flour. Beat the eggs with sugar, then stir in a little flour with baking powder, chopped walnuts, soaked raisins, and a tablespoon of vinegar. Bake the cake for about 20 minutes at 180°C (350°F).

Cut it into squares as soon as it comes out of the oven, because it hardens as it cools and becomes difficult to slice.

Ingredients

Raisins 200 g
Chopped walnuts 1 cup
Baking powder 1 tsp
Eggs 2
Semi-coarse wheat flour 1 cup
Powdered sugar 1 cup
Vinegar 1 tbsp

1 cup = 250 ml (metric cup)

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Shortly before you begin, cover the raisins with lukewarm water to soften them. Beat the eggs with the sugar, then stir in the raisins and chopped walnuts. Gradually fold in the sifted flour and baking powder. Finally, add the vinegar, stir the batter once more, and pour it into a small baking pan greased with butter and dusted with flour.
Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C (350°F) for about 20 minutes, until golden. Cut into squares as soon as the cake comes out of the oven, because it hardens as it cools and becomes difficult to slice.

Tip: Drain the soaked raisins and pat them dry with a kitchen towel before mixing them in so the water doesn't thin the batter. Chop the walnuts coarsely so they add texture to the squares.
