Recipe: Armenian Nutmeg Cake

There were some pretty great things that came out of the 80’s and this cake must be one of them!

The bottom layer is a dense, heavily spiced, biscuit-like base, while the top is a light, fluffy cake topped with walnuts.

Fresh nutmeg gives it a beautiful not too sweet spice taste and fragrance and the two layers make it look fancy, when its actually pretty straight forward to make.

Please enjoy a veganised version of this traditional cake from the kitchen of Jan.
