Armenian Nut Cake…with a cookie base!!

Armenian+Nut+Cake

And here are pictures of the Armenian Nutmeg Cake. The cake was delicious, though it was a bit small for my 8inch tin. Maybe a smaller tin next time. Also, for some reason I didn’t get the crunchy base, but will definitely try this one again. The nutmeg flavour was awesome, and the cake had a certain ‘warmth‘ to it…great with a cuppa coffee! DH enjoyed it warm and chilled, and the kids loved it warm with a dollop of ice-cream. Here is the recipe from the ‘Esurientes’
Thank you, Niki!!
