Easy Walnut Cake
Print This Recipe
When filled with Orange-Beer Filling or Lemon-Beer Filling, this cake doesn't even need an icing - but add one of your choice if you wish. Otherwise, sift confectioners' sugar over the top.
INGREDIENTS
1 package (2-layer size) yellow cake mix
Beer
Water
2 eggs
2/3 cup finely chopped walnuts
Orange-Beer Filling or Lemon-Beer FillingMix cake batter according to package directions. Use the exact amount of liquid called for, but substitute beer for all or part of the water.
If making Orange-Beer Filling, set aside 1/2 cup beer from a can for filling and use 1 cup in cake.
For Lemon-Beer Filling, set aside 3/4 cup beer for filling and use 3/4 cup in cake.
If not making beer-flavored filling, substitute beer for all of the water in cake.
Blend in walnuts.
Turn batter into 2 greased and wax-paper-lined 9-inch round layer cake pans.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes; turn out onto wire racks. Cool completely before filling and frosting.
