Directions
Armenian Nutmeg Cake,Armenia is famous for its sweet and spicy nutmeg cake. It has a crunchy base and light cake topping, and tastes delicious. This recipe was given to me 16 years ago by the mother of one of my son’s kindergarten friends. Tried and true!,Do you think i could use almonds instead of walnuts/pecans? Recipe looks delish ! But my family does not like the nuts suggested,I have been making this cake for over fifty years and I think this is the best version Ive tried. The sour cream makes it rich and moist for special occasions and the slight tang off sets the sugar. For normal family baking Id just use the milk like my original recipe. I would probably make it with one and a half cups of sugar next time though. I dont remember my original recipe being so sweet. And I think grating your own nutmeg makes a huge difference to the taste. Thanks for reintroducing this lovely cake to new cooks. It really is lovely, and everyone who has it for the first time raves about it.
