📝 Ingredients
- 200 g of melted butter
- 300 g of coarsely chopped walnuts
- 400 g of flour 00
- 200 g of sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 2 or 3 eggs (depending on size and desired consistency)
- 1 small glass of Marsala
👩🍳 Step-by-step Preparation
- Make a well with the flour on a work surface or in a large bowl.
- Add the melted butter, chopped walnuts, sugar, salt, eggs, and Marsala in the center.
- Mix everything with your hands until you obtain a homogeneous and compact mixture.
- Pour the mixture into a buttered cake tin (recommended diameter: 24 cm).
- Bake in a preheated static oven at 180°C for about 60 minutes, until the surface is well golden and amber.
- If the cake turns out to be too dry, cover it with a damp cloth for a few hours after baking: it will become perfectly soft again.
🍷 Recommended Serving
- Serve at room temperature, perhaps accompanied by a glass of Porto or Passito, to enhance its aromatic notes.
