Hungarian Flourless Walnut Cake —
INGREDIENTS
12 ounces walnuts
2 teaspoons baking powder
6 egg yolks
5/8 cup white sugar
6 egg whites
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1/8 cup chopped walnuts, for garnish
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch springform pan. Grind walnuts until very fine. Add baking powder and set aside.
In a large bowl, whip the egg yolks with the sugar until pale yellow in color. Beat in the ground walnut mixture.
In a separate CLEAN bowl, with a CLEAN whisk, whip the egg whites until stiff. Quickly fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the yolk mixture, then add the remaining whites and fold in until no streaks remain.
Pour into a 9 inch springform. Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 75 minutes, or until top of cake springs back when lightly tapped. Cool on wire rack.
When cake is cool, slice horizontally into 3 layers. Whip the cream until stiff, and spread generously between layers, on top and on the sides of the cake. Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top for decoration.

Traditional Walnut Cake
Gateau aux Noix II
1-1/4 cups walnut pieces,
including 7 unbroken walnut halves
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1-3/4 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flout a 9-inch springform pan. (Use a 9-inch cake pan if you do not have a springform pan.)
2. Set aside 7 of the best walnut halves and coarsely chop the remaining walnuts in the bowl of a food processor.
3. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter. Add the sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder, and salt one ingredient at a time, beating continuously. When the ingredients are well mixed, add the chopped walnuts and mix evenly. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
4. Bake for 45 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes. Loosen the sides by running a knife around the side of the pan. If you are using a springform pan, open it and loosen the bottom of the cake with a spatula. Turn the cake onto a cooling rack with a quick jerk. Immediately reverse the cake onto another cooling rack and garnish with the reserved walnut halves. Let the cake cool top-side up.

Of course coffee is gluten free. It’s a berry. Gluten is only found in wheat, rye, barley and a few other closely related GRAINS and products which contain them or their derivatives.
Only the cheapest nastiest instant coffee is likely to contain gluten.
Hi bryan,
Here is a link to a recipe I wrote for cake with walnuts:
http://www.elanaspantry.com/desserts/christmas-cake/
I’m not sure if it’s exactly what you are looking for, though it is gluten-free and fairly high in protein for a dessert.
Good luck in your cake quest –and by the way, I have several other gluten-free cake recipes on my website:
