Hungarian Walnut Torte
"This truly special cake with its creamy not-too-sweet filling is one I've made for years. People say it is excellent," notes Jeannette Jeremias of Kitchener, Ontario. "I'm the first generation of my Hungarian family to be born in Canada."

Baking powder should be 3 tsp.
I made this cake for the first time and the baked item was a birthday party hit with my Hungarian family. This recipe leaves out the coffee and adds a chocolate pudding mix to the frosting -- both aspects the children loved! Especially with the added dark chocolate shavings on top versus walnuts which children do not particularly like. The tasters were blown away. However to produce a 4-tier cake bakers will need to DOUBLE the recipe and make 4, 8-inch round cakes layered with frosting. Double up on EVERYTHING.
My husband is Hungarian and this is very close to the cake his mother makes, I have made this a few times and everyone loves it.
