“This is a delicious cake, and may also be baked as three 8 inch layers. If you do, use black walnuts mixed with some icing to fill the layers, and ice with the plain icing. Then sprinkle top with additional chopped black walnuts.” - by Cali

"This is a delicious cake and the taste of black walnut is not overwhelming! The cooking time is NOT off if you use a bundt pan - it cooked for 80-90 mins. I made this cake for my husband's birthday ..." See morein a fancy bundt pan, just sprinkled with confectioner's sugar before serving, rather than frosting it, it got RAVE reviews."
