Soft Chocolate Walnut Cake

Just came back from China tour two days ago. Been busy washing dirty laundry and cleaning the house. While I was taking a rest and making myself a cup of coffee, I saw a packet of walnut on the table, which I bought from Da Li. I suddenly had an urge to bake a cake with walnut. Without wasting much time, I decided to bake this soft Chocolate walnut cake which I bake very often.

I like the texture of the cake which is very soft and light. And I also like the bits of the chopped walnuts and the sweetness of the chocolate. The combination of the ingredients is just perfect. And walnuts are good for the brain.
