Why This Walnut Cake Recipe Will Be Your New Fall Obsession!

August 27, 2024 · In: Entertaining, Recipe

Sometimes changing one thing is subtle and sometimes it’s the birth of something new!! Every Fall I crave my Yiyia’s Karidopita (Walnut cake). There’s something about this cake that screams FALL, WARM, and COZY! I grew up eating this cake and now I look forward to making it each year. This year I added my own twist and it is truly amazing!

Yiyia’s walnut cake is perfect for Fall with the spices, the nuts, the honey. This year I had some pears that were perfectly ripe so I took a chance and it paid off! The mix of the spiced nuts and the creamy baked pears is absolute perfection. If you want to take it up a notch (why would you ever settle for going down a notch 😅) add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Here’s my Yiyia’s recipe with my new addition, I hope you enjoy!

Eeekkk!!! Guys!!! It’s BACK IN STOCK!!! Commen Eeekkk!!! Guys!!! It’s BACK IN STOCK!!! 

Comment TREE to get the link!!! 🎄 ✨ 

Sorry to break from fall for a minute but the Grand Duchess is BACK IN STOCK!! I waited a year to get mine last year and they sold out so fast that I couldn’t get more for our own home or projects so I already bought two more!! They are WORTH THE HYPE!! I’m tearing up just thinking about how pretty it is with the twinkling lights (& Jack is trying to convince me to put them up now! Haha!)

But seriously, this tree is 1/5 of the price of the designer versions and is truly exquisite!

Ok! I’ll stop talking so you can go get yours!  Yipppeeeee!!!!!

Guys! I’m so pumped! I love creating a living space meant to dine in and that’s what we’ve created here! It’s luxe, warm, inviting, smells incredible and gives a sense that you want to linger forever!

Oh, and did I mention that it’s loaded with budget friendly finds & styling hacks? We’ve used everything from dinnerware from Amazon to glassware from IKEA to little marble bowls loaded with little nuts & treats from @hmhome !! 

The baskets, hurricanes, and bowls overflowing with wood and pine cones definitely give a nod to the fall season as do the warm brown velvet curtains (another Amazon find!) 

The only question we have to answer is- what’s for dinner?!
