The nuts in the top this chocolate walnut cake means that it doesn’t need any icing! thelinkssite.comWhen you need a tasty chocolate cake in a hurry you can’t go past this One Bowl Chocolate Walnut Cake. Topped with walnuts this cake doesn’t even need icing!

I have been craving chocolate cake lately! I know, I know I’m supposed to be counting calories but we all need to eat chocolate cake every once in a while! Don’t we? I know I do! 🙂

I’ve been drooling over images on Pinterest just waiting for the perfect recipe to pop up. And when I mean perfect recipe I usually mean quick and easy. You see I love to cook but I like the recipes to be simple too. Nothing puts me off quicker than a recipe that has a squillion ingredients and two pages of instructions!

This chocolate walnut cake is beautifully moist and has just the right amount of chocolate! thelinkssite.comMaybe I am exaggerating a bit but you know what I mean – simple and easy – that’s what I want!

When I find a recipe that can be carried out using only one bowl it really sparks my interest. Add in the fact that the recipe is for a chocolate cake and you have definitely hooked me in – I just have to give it a try!

Recently I found a really easy recipe for a Chocolate Peanut Butter Snack Cake by Renee at Magnolia Days. It sounded so easy to make that I decided to try it – albeit with a slight adjustment. You see Renee’s recipe called for peanut butter chips to be sprinkled onto the top of the cake before baking.

This Chocolate Walnut Cake is so easy to make you can whip one up in no time! thelinkssite.comNow I am sure that the peanut butter chips would be nice but I was craving a different nutty flavour so I chose walnuts instead. Because of the flavour change, and the fact that it can be mixed in one bowl I called my recipe One Bowl Chocolate Walnut Cake!

I have to say that the resulting cake was just wonderful. It was moist and had just the right amount of chocolate. It definitely satisfied my chocolate cake cravings while not being overly rich. Others in my family don’t like really rich chocolate cakes so this one went down a treat with everybody!

Chocoholics will love this quick and easy Chocolate Walnut Cake! thelinkssite.comAnother great thing about this cake is that it doesn’t need icing/frosting. The walnuts in the top of this chocolate walnut cake make it great without any icing!

I think that I will be making this chocolate walnut cake quite often now, since it is so easy.
