ingredients
directions
- Grease a 12" spring form pan and put aside until needed.
- For the filling: Put 12 oz sugar in a frying-pan, fry slowly until the sugar starts to foam, do not stir, because the sugar will get lumpy.
- Next add the walnuts, mix well and remove from the heat before the sugar gets too brown.
- Now add the cream immediately and let it boil down, remove from heat and allow to cool.
- For the dough: Mix the flour, margarine or butter and the remaining 5 oz of sugar, the egg and the salt and make a dough.
- Cut the dough into three peices, two of the same size and one slightly smaller.
- Roll the two peices of the same size to make up a bottom and a top of the cake in a 12" pan.
- Form a roll with the third piece and place it on the sides of the spring form pan .
- Pour the filling evenly on the bottom, and then cover the cake with the top peice.
- Bake in the oven at lower level at 400°F for 40-45 minutes.
- Open the spring form pan immediately after removing from the oven to prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.

I am a very lucky lady. I recently moved to a very small town in New Brunswick, Canada with my wonderful husband who is my best friend.
Very fortunate to have a cherished son, wonderful daughter in law and adorable granddaughter and cute wee grandson. We are very blessed.
