ice - cream that much) and especially not a cake lover. However this is different! This cake is loaded with MY FAVORITE nut - WALNUT therefore all the love. There is close to zero flour here so it is almost a gluten free cake if that is what is important to you. It uses grounded walnut-sugar caramel (Grilijas) hence the name GRILIJAS TORTA instead of flour. But above all this is the cake that me and my brother grew up with! Birthday comes my mom would bake this cake for us. Wedding or any celebrations comes chances were my mom would be making this cake. This literally became a tradition in our house, as I am doing the same with my two girls. They love it, I love it, even my husband who does not eat cakes eats this one. It is a little tricky to make and while, so far I was not able to make it like my mom, I got pretty good at it over the time. This being my mom's recipe all the measures are metric.
