Walnut and Caramel Wafer Cake

One of the simplest and best cakes, we all like since we were little children - in my house it was made with rounder and more colorful wafer sheets - condensed milk cream with nuts.

I was very happy to find a lot of homemade cream caramel recipes, and even better than I expected it to be. I really like the recipe below for this caramel to harden a little and the cake is comfortable to eat, in addition to the intense taste of nuts and caramel with butter.

From the start I give you a double portion of ingredients because the sheets on the market are large and I saw that just one serving of cream is not enough for a set of sheets.

Now I prefer to make the cake with only 3 sheets of wafer - respectively 2 more generous layers of cream. But you can also make it from 4 wafers (3 levels of cream) or all the sheets from the wafers package.

●

Wafer sheets

4 pieces

or 3

Sugar

280 g

●

Butter

280 g

Powdered sugar

280 g

Chopped walnuts

200 g

Step by step

Step 1

Put the butter and powdered sugar in 2 bowls.

Step 2

In a saucepan or pan with a thicker bottom, melt the sugar over low-medium heat. Be careful to stir periodically so that it does not burn.

Step 3

When the beautiful sugar has caramelized, start adding alternately - 1 tablespoon of butter - mix ...

Step 4

... then 1 tablespoon powdered sugar - mix.

Continue like this until all the powdered sugar and butter are finished.

Step 5

Add the ground walnuts, mix and remove from the heat.

Step 6

Allow to cool slightly then add the yolks and mix quickly.

Step 7

And you start to grease the sheets.

I recommend that you grease the cream while it is hot, then it will harden and be difficult to handle.

Step 8

Adjust the amount of cream according to your tastes and preferences. Grease all the sheets with a knife and place them on top of each other along the way.

Step 9

The last sheet is not smeared on top with cream.

Step 10

Put a bottom or a tray over the cake and press with a little harder what you have in the kitchen - let it harden well for about 5-6 hours or overnight.
