Honey and walnut slice

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Cakes and Desserts
The pairing of walnuts and honey is one of the most ancient flavour combinations. The natural oils in the walnuts and the hygroscopic (moisture-retaining) properties of the honey ensure this traybake remains irresistibly soft for days. The scent of roasting nuts during baking adds an inimitable, earthy and warming character to this dessert.

⚠️ Nuts (Walnuts)

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C Fan). Line a baking tin with baking parchment. Mix the flour, sugar, walnuts, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt in a bowl.

Tip: Due to the high oil content of the walnuts, the dough is heavier; the bicarbonate of soda helps to aerate it.
2 ✓

Melt the butter, mix with the honey and the lukewarm milk. Pour into the dry ingredients.

Tip: The acidity of the honey reacts with the bicarbonate of soda, creating gas bubbles.
3 ✓

Fold the dough together until uniform. Do not overmix, just until the flour disappears. Smooth into the tin.

Tip: The batter will be thick, this is normal. You can easily smooth it out with a wet spoon.
4 ✓

Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a skewer inserted comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin.

Tip: Walnuts can burn easily if the temperature is too high, so stick to 180°C.
5 ✓

Once cooled, slice into bars. Stored in an airtight container, it remains soft for days.

Tip: Honey is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture), so the cake won't dry out.
