Tip
This is a very popular and traditional European (Macedonian) Torte.
Hope you enjoy this delicious Walnut Torte, it will serve quite a few slices as it is quite decadent, so great to make for entertaining a large number of guests. It also freezes well, if there are any left overs 
* If dairy is not an issue you could substitute Nuttelex with normal unsalted butter.
ENJOY!
