Instructions

Preheat your oven to 170 degrees C (340 F). Prepare an 8-inch (20 cm) springform tin by greasing and lining the base and sides with baking paper.
Melt the butter and let it cool slightly.
In a small food processor, blend the sugar and walnuts until finely ground. Stir occasionally to ensure even processing.
Pour the walnut and sugar mixture into a large bowl, add salt and baking powder, and mix to combine.
Mix in the egg yolks, cooled butter, and vanilla until you have a thick mixture.
In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold half of the egg whites into the walnut mixture, then fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake for 35 minutes. Loosely cover with foil to prevent over-browning and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before removing the sides. Cool completely on the base.
Serve with a dusting of icing sugar, honey whipped cream, and fresh berries.

Notes

Use the best quality walnuts for optimal flavor.
Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better mixing.
If desired, substitute honey with maple syrup in the whipped cream.
