Recipe: Greek Walnut Syrup Cake with Cinnamon Syrup and Glazed Walnuts (flourless, Wheat and Gluten-Free)

Desserts - Cakes
WALNUT SYRUP CAKE

"Not overly sweet, this flourless Grecian cake stays moist several days if kept covered. The Glazed Walnuts may be made several days ahead."

1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
4 eggs
3/4 cup (uncooked) cream of rice
3 tsp. baking powder
Dash of salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
Cinnamon Syrup (recipe follows)
Glazed Walnuts (recipe follows)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Cream butter. Add sugar and continue beating until fluffy. Add eggs slowly to mixture and continue beating until light.

Stir together dry ingredients, then add alternately to butter mixture with the milk. Add vanilla and beat until smooth. Fold in walnuts. Pour into prepared pan.

Bake 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted center comes out clean. Remove from oven and score top of cake into diamond-shaped pieces. Pour warm Cinnamon Syrup slowly over cake.

When cake is cool, cut into diamond-shaped pieces and cover with foil. Allow cake to set several hours for syrup to be absorbed.

To serve, place a glazed walnut half on each piece.

CINNAMON SYRUP

1/2 cup sugar
1 cinnamon stick
1 cup water
1 Tbsp. orange juice

Combine syrup ingredients in a saucepan; bring to boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to dissolve sugar; boil 10 minutes without stirring. Cool syrup 5 minutes before pouring over cake.

GLAZED WALNUTS

2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 lb. walnut halves

Combine sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat slowly, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves, then cook rapidly without stirring to 300 degrees F (or until a few drops of syrup poured into a cup of cold water form hard, brittle threads that break when pressed). Remove pan from heat and stir in walnuts, 1/2 cup at a time; toss to coat evenly. Remove nuts from syrup with two forks and place on wire racks lined with waxed paper. Cool until glaze is firm. Store in an air-tight metal tin.

Makes: 1 (9x13-inch) cake
