  • About

The Bündner walnut cake is the most famous dessert in the canton (region) of Graubünden and consists of a pastry case with a sweet, creamy filling. Most of the walnuts come from abroad because there are only a few places in Graubünden where they grow. I mostly get my walnuts from my parents who don’t live in the mountains. You will also need a 24cm springform cake tin.
