I love citrus and this is a fave in the summer. Origins are also Hungarian (how'd you guess?) Again, handed down to me by my grandmother. Please read entire directions first before attempting. The prep sounds complicated but if you read it you'll see it's really not and remember, it's an old recipe.

Yield Makes 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

For cake
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs, separated
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups sour cream
1 cup walnuts (3 ounces), toasted , cooled, and finely chopped
For glaze
1 cup confectioners sugar
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Special Equipment
a 12-cup bundt pan

Steps:

  • Make cake:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Butter bundt pan.
  • Sift together flour, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Beat together butter and sugar in another bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about minutes in a standing mixer or 4 with a handheld. Add yolks 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low, then add flour mixture and sour cream alternately in batches, mixing well after each addition.
  • Beat egg whites in another bowl with cleaned beaters until they just hold stiff peaks, then fold whites and walnuts into batter gently but thoroughly.
  • Spoon batter into pan, smoothing top, and bake until a wooden pick or skewer comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool cake in pan on a rack 10 minutes, then invert onto rack and cool completely.
  • Make glaze:
  • Whisk together confectioners sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Transfer cake to a plate, then drizzle glaze over cake and let stand until glaze is set, about 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Prep work: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) before starting the recipe. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
  • Measure ingredients accurately: Use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients for precise results. This is especially important for baking, where precise measurements are crucial for success.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will yield the best results. Use high-quality apples, walnuts, and lemon for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the cake: Keep an eye on the cake while it's baking. Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing: This will help the glaze set properly.
