Ingredients for Walnut Biscuit Wafer Cakes
For preparing our Walnut Biscuit Wafer Cakes, we always have the following ingredients ready:
- 5 wafer sheets, size 25×40 cm
- 24 tablespoons of water
- 250 g sugar
- 200 g ground biscuits
- 280 g ground walnuts
- 250 g butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa

How to Prepare Walnut Biscuit Wafer Cakes
Preparing the Filling
We start by preparing the filling for our cakes. First, we place sugar, water, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. While stirring, the mixture gradually combines and thickens.
Once it boils, we immediately add the ground biscuits and stir carefully. Then we remove the mixture from heat and gradually fold in ground walnuts and cocoa. With each addition, we stir until the mixture becomes smooth and homogeneous.
Layering the Wafer Sheets
Next, we start layering the wafer sheets. We place a sheet on a flat surface and immediately spread part of the filling. Then we repeat sheet, filling, until all five sheets are used.
It is important not to spread the filling on the top sheet. Finally, we press the dessert gently with a board and let it rest for at least 12 hours. After that, we cut pieces into rectangular or square shapes, ready to serve.
