Cont. final bit Beat the mixture with electric beaters on high speed for 7 minutes or until light and foamy. Remove from the heat. Using a metal spoon quickly and lightly fold the chocolate and nuts into the egg mixture until just combined. Fold in the cream and pour into the cake tin. Place the tin in a shallow roasting tin. Pour enough hot water into the roasting tin to come up half-way up the side of the cake tin. Bake for 1 hour or until just set. Remove from the roasting tin and cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Invert the cake onto a plate and remove the baking paper. Cut into slices, dust lightly with icing sugar and serve with thick cream.

Armenian Walnut & Nutmeg Cake There is a bit of a story to this delicious cake. I first tried it at the caf'e at Masterton Railway Station and asked the girl's who own it if they would share the recipe but they were reluctant to do so,even with a trade of my lemon yoghurt cake! anyway, we got our regular issue of NZ Lifestyle magazine in Septemeber and there was an article on walnuts and lo and behold a recipe for the Armeniun walnut & nutmeg cake! It took me until yesterday to actually make it and it was well worth the wait- We have fresh walnuts at home,but I did actually buy a 200g bag of freshly shelled walnuts for this recipe. It is worth mAking and is actually really easy to make. Here is the recipe below. Enjoy.
