Tips

Use ingredients at room temperature. To bring egg, butter, and milk-based ingredients to room temperature, let them sit at room temperature for at least one hour before using them. In this way, the dough will have an even texture.
You can use any type of flour. For more, you can check our article on 'Types of Flour and Uses'.
Measure the flour correctly. You can use a kitchen scale or measuring cup to measure the flour. Flatten the flour with the back of the knife. In this way, you can make more accurate measurements. Otherwise, too much flour can cause the cookie dough to become tough.
Use any type of milk. You can use whole milk or plant-based milk. For more, check out our 'Types of Milk' article.
You can use flavored teas such as earl grey, green tea, or lavender tea to add tea flavor to the cake. For more, you can check out our 'Types of Tea' article.
Sift the flour and other dry ingredients so that the dough does not clump.
Be sure to finely chop the walnuts.
Do not overmix the dough after adding the dry ingredients. Excessive mixing will make the cake tough.
To check if the cake is cooked, do the toothpick test. If the toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean, the cake is done.
Use plant-based milk and vegan butter to make the recipe vegan. Use applesauce or flaxseed eggs instead of eggs.
