I made once and half times the butter cream and put two shots of espresso into it and it brought a great coffee flavour to the cake. The meringue shell frosting really came into it's own the second day, it was so perfectly crisp and sweet! <br />David Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650569269425389350.post-89577916914293792852017-12-10T17:52:01.952-05:002017-12-10T17:52:01.952-05:00Thank you for putting the Fullers Walnut Cake reci...Thank you for putting the Fullers Walnut Cake recipe on the net .<br /> I used to hear my Mother talk about having it as a treat in the Lyons tea/coffee house in London after the War.

Since I didn't have a suitable thermometer, I checked out a YouTube video on boiled icing and went by what it looked like to estimate the correct temperature (plus the soft ball test). So tasty! I think I will make it every year, but only once a year, because it's deliciously rich.

There was a box of negatives which I must print. However, it was the box that brought back bitter-sweet memories. It once contained a Fuller's Walnut Layer Cake. This epitome of luxury and decadence appeared in our working class home once a year when my father bought one home for my mother's birthday. Could I still get one I asked the web? No I couldn't, but thanks to you my wife can try and produce one! (I won't as I can burn water).

In the '60's I worked in a City branch of Lloyds Bank and Fullers Walnut Cake used to be the cake to have whenever there was a birthday.
