Walnut Cake

Ingredients


Cake Mixture

5 eggs, separated
1.5 cups grated walnuts
1 cup grated almonds
1 cup castor sugar
250 unsalted butter
0.5 tsp vanilla
0.5 tsp cinnamon powder
0.5 tsp cloves powder
2 cups self-raising flour                                              

Syrup

2 cups water
2 cups castor sugar
4 pieces of cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1 slice of lemon with its peel



Method


Cake Mixture


  • Preheat the over to 180C.
  • Put butter in the cake tin into the oven to melt it.
  • Beat egg white in a bowl until light and fluffy.
  • In a large separate bowl, place the butter (butter should be melted by now), sugar and egg yolks and beat with electric mixer until sugar is dissolved.
  • Add cinnamon, vanilla and cloves and mix well.
  • Add flour and beat well.
  • Add the egg whites and beat well.
  • Add the walnuts and almonds and mix well.
  • Pour the mixture into the cake tin and place in the oven.  Cook for 45 ~ 60 minutes until the mixture does not stick when a skewer is placed in the middle. (This will be the time to prepare syrup.)
  • Take tine out and cut the cake into diamond shapes but leave cake in the tine and let it cool.


Syrup
  • Place all ingredients in a saucepan and stir over low heat for 15 ~ 20 minutes.
  • Pour hot syrup over cool cake in the tin and leave until cake is cool enough to remove from the tin.

The Bose Soundbar 700 Won't Connect to App

Bose has one of the best speaker sound. I learnt about Bose more than 25 years ago and still a fan.  I bought Soundbar 700 in 2018.  It took me a while to set it up but it has been giving me troubles once a while.  Recently, I was not able to connect Soundbar 700 with my phone.  Done the factory reset on the soundbar, it didn't work. I spent hours reseting everything multiple times and finally I found this article,  https://www.bose.com.au/en_au/support/articles/HC1380/productCodes/bose_soundbar_700/article.html .  Tweaking them all and finally got it to work again. I think the most important setting is to TURN WPS OFF on the router!  Hope it helps.
