Technological notes

Prepared by the sponge method. Nuts are roasted, cooled, chopped, and folded into the finished dough before depositing into molds. Baking: 180–200 °C for 40–55 minutes. Final moisture: 18–22%. The high nut content gives this cake a distinctive flavor and a denser crumb compared to fruit-based pound cakes.
