Pecan & Walnut Crunch Cake

Over the weekend, I made a butter cake with a 8" round pan. It was a full batter and the cake came out pretty well. Sorry for the lack of photos, I was in a hurry!

Sliced the cake into half and added a thin layer of vanilla whipped cream and then it was onto the cake decorations. Whipped some cream and made a mixture of sugared pecan and walnut crunch which was then scattered onto the cake.

Voila! I would say not bad for a first attempt?

Ingredients for the nut crunch is as follows:

1 cup Walnut/Pecan Nut
1 cup of sugar
2/3 cups of water

Directions:

Chop the nuts into small pieces and lay them on a parchment paper in a 10 x 12" pan. Melt the sugar with the water until the colour turns brown, approx. 8-10mins. Wait for the bubbles to subside and pour the mixture over the nuts. Let cool for 5mins before popping the pan into the fridge for 30mins. Break the crunch into smaller pieces and decorate as you wish.

Packed & ready to go!
