How to Make Engadiner Nusstorte Nut Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Make the crust: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Press half of the dough into the prepared springform pan, forming an even layer. This will be the bottom crust.
  5. Make the filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, butter, and cream. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
  6. Stir in the walnuts and simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the nuts to toast slightly.
  7. Pour the walnut filling evenly over the crust in the springform pan.
  8. Roll out the remaining dough and place it over the filling. You can crimp the edges to seal or simply lay it on top.
  9. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
  10. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing the sides of the springform.
  11. Dust with powdered sugar before serving and enjoy!
