Black Walnut Layer Cake
My sister gave me the recipe for this beautiful cake years ago. The thin layer of frosting spread on the outside gives it a chic modern look. —Lynn Glaze, Warren, Ohio

This was too sweet for my picky family. Also, I'm not a fan of skim-frosted sides. It's supposed to be a "modern" look, but it really just looks as if you didn't make enough icing.
Music to your mouth. Mom and I would go out on the back roads when I was a kid. We'd pick up black walnuts, go home and shell them for the cake. The frosting was black walnut also.
Wonderful cake! Made this at youth group and it was a HUGE hit. Made a bit too much frosting, but the kids enjoyed the extra frosting. I'll definitely make it again sometime.
