WALNUT TART
Meet the Cook: The first time my husband tried this, he said there ought to be a law against anything tasting so good!

We are the parents of three grown children and grandparents of two. -Rovena Wallace, Trafford, Pennsylvania

Steps:
- Butter 3 Nine inch round cake pan and line the bottom of each one with a round of buttered parchment paper.
- Dust the pans with flour and shake out any excess.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.

- In a food processor or blender, pulse the walnuts with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar until ground fine.
- Add the walnuts, the bread crumbs, the coffee and the rum to the yolks and fold gently.
- In another bowl, with clean beaters, beat the egg white just to stiff peaks.
- Gently and gradually fold the whites into the yolk mixture.
- Divide the batter among the three cake pans, spreading it evenly and giving each cake pan a good thump against the counter to make sure there are no air bubbles.
- Bake the layers 20 to 25 minutes, or until the sides pull away from the pans and the tops spring back when pressed gently.
- Cool in pans on racks for ten minutes.
- Run a sharp knife round the sides of the layers and carefully invert the layers onto the racks.
- Remove and discard parchment paper and allow layers to cool completely.
- Make the Coffee Whipped Cream:.
- In a large, chilled bowl, stir together 3 tablespoons of the cold heavy cream and the instant coffee until coffee is dissolved.
- Add remaining cream and confectioner's sugar and beat until cream forms stiff peaks.
- This will provide enough whipped cream to fill the two layers and to garnish the top.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Put the flour in a food processor with the butter and sugar, and mix until it forms fine breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk and 1-2 tbsp cold water, and pulse to make a firm dough.
- Have ready a 24cm tart tin. Briefly knead the pastry on a lightly floured surface, then roll out to a round about 5cm larger than your tin. Lift onto the tin with the help of your rolling pin, then press into the corners using your finger. Do not trim the pastry. Fill the pastry case with a round of baking parchment and baking beans. Chill for 10 mins. Blindbake for 10 mins, remove the paper and beans, then bake for 5 mins more.
- To make the filling, put the sugar in a large pan with 3 tbsp cold water. Heat gently, stirring to dissolve the sugar. When the sugar is completely dissolved, increase heat and bubble until the syrup has turned a rich caramel colour. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter until it has dissolved, then stir in the cream. Return to the heat and boil hard, stirring until the sauce is thick enough to leave a gap on the base of the pan when you draw your spoon across it. Stir in the walnuts.
- Fill the pastry case with the nut mixture, levelling it with a fork. Return to the oven for 8-10 mins until the filling is bubbling. Cool for 10 mins before removing carefully from the tin. Serve warm or cold.

- Garnish the tart with fresh coffee beans, chocolate shavings, or chopped walnuts for an elegant touch.
- Serve the tart with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream for a decadent dessert.
