Italian walnut cake torta di noci gluten free flourless 3 ingredients walnuts eggs and sugar

I remember the day I first made this cake like it was yesterday. I was at work researching a series of three-ingredient dessert recipes. Flipping through The River Cafe Cookbook Easy a cookbook inspired by Italian farmhouse cooking I found I came across a recipe for a walnut and brandy cake that caught my attention. A little digging online led me to the recipe this cake is likely based on called Torta di Noci a Calabrian walnut cake with just three ingredients.

I'll admit I was skeptical when I made the simple batter but when I felt the knife cut into the cracked crust and moist center I knew this was a special recipe.

It's magic: you only need eggs ground walnuts and sugar to make this delicate and delicious cake. It works not only with walnuts but also with almonds and hazelnuts: I tested them.
