With just a few ingredients, you can make an excellent cake without flour. As they say on the Instagram page my.mom's.recipes, where we found the instructions for the preparation, the recipe comes from the Great National Cookbook from 1956.

ingredients:

  • 250 g ground walnuts
  • 250 g of raisins
  • 200 g of sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • chocolate or sugar glaze

<strong>Preparation: </strong>

Mix ground walnuts, raisins, sugar and whole eggs in a bowl so that everything is well combined.

Grease the tray and sprinkle it with flour (or just line it with baking paper), pour the mass, spread it to a thickness of 2 cm and bake it on moderate heat - 190°C - for about half an hour.

Cover the baked cake with glaze, wait for it to cool, then cut into bars.

In the recipe for this cake from The Great People's Cookbook from 1956, the baked dough is topped with a glaze made from 12 sugar cubes melted with 3 tablespoons of water, to which vanilla is added. One cube of sugar usually has 5 grams.

If you prefer chocolate glaze, make it from 100 g of chocolate and 3 tablespoons of oil.
