Crispy layer in the cake
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. If you don’t like walnuts, feel free to replace them with hazelnuts. You can use store‑bought waffle layers like I do, or make them yourself in a waffle iron. If you crush the layer, it can become a wonderful coating for the sides of the cake.
