Yield Eight to ten servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups sugar
2 cups water
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon rose water
5 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups walnuts, chopped
3/4 cup ground almonds
1 cup sugar
Juice and grated zest of one orange
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Walnut oil, almond oil or butter for the pan

Steps:

To make the syrup, boil the sugar and the water with the lemon juice for 15 minutes. Stir in the rose water. Cool and refrigerate.
To make the cake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly. Line the bottom of a cake pan with foil or greaseproof paper. Brush the foil with oil or melted butter, pour in the cake mixture and bake for 1 hour, until browned.
Immediately turn the cake out into a deep dish. Peel off the foil or paper, cut the cake into serving pieces and put them on plates. Drizzle syrup over each piece, allowing them to absorb the syrup for 15 minutes, and serve.

SPANISH WALNUT CAKE

I have an awesome recipe I'd like to share with you. I'm 66 years old and this is an heirloom recipe my mother made and handed down to me. It's from an old 1913 cookbook from her mother. I have no idea where the name came from but the cake is wonderful and moist and needs no frosting.I hope you enjoy it as much as my family...
