Armenian Nutmeg Cake
I had a few trial and errors making this cake. The nuts can burn pretty easily in the oven, so keep it on the lowest rack. I found it was best at 150 degrees to toast the nuts to get a smokiness and crunch, but not burn them. It also bakes it into a really fluffy and moist cake!!
I hand chopped the nuts as I like a chunkier consistency, however you can always use a low speed/a few seconds in your Thermomix to chop them.
