Add the flour mixture to the liquid mixture, turn it upside down with the help of a spatula and mix it lightly. Add the lemon zest and coarse-grained walnuts dipped in flour and mix.
Grease a muffin tin (or a flat baking sheet) and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of flour. Place the walnuts, which are divided into 2 and floured, neatly at the bottom of the mold.
Pour the cake mix you prepared slowly, evenly all over the mold, and smooth it out.
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees and place the cake on the middle shelf. Bake for about 30-35 minutes until the cake rises and turns pink without opening the oven door.
Finally, check if the cake is cooked by inserting a toothpick or a thin knife into the middle of the cake. The toothpick or knife should come out dry.
Take your cake out of the oven and let it cool on its own. When completely cooled, turn your cake upside down, remove it from the mold, slice and serve warm or cold. Enjoy your meal!
Note: You can decorate the top of your cake by sprinkling crushed walnuts and powdered sugar with cinnamon added during service.
