When the cream hardens - we can coat our cake with chocolate icing. 150 grams of good milk chocolate melt together with 2 tbsp. heavy cream. Add chopped Daim bar.

Recipe says  four egg yolks but only one is used in recipe, is this an omission or is it correct just using one

Hi - I am going to have a go at this cake for christmas - bringing a little of Sweden to New Zealand.  Your recipe looks the best but could you please tell me how many grams of Daim bar you used - we are able to get 28gr bars here and that seems too small?  Many thanks!

Hello, Claire! Thank you for your comment! I got exactly the same Daim bar - 28g! But it actually depends on how crunchy you want the cake to be : )

Were you using soft butter? The one that doesn't freeze let's say?:)

Two questions:
What size pan should be used? 
Why do you call it a walnut cake when the recipe calls for hazelnuts or almonds?
Thanks!!!
And thanks for the recipe.  I intend to try it soon.

Do anyone know how long to let the cream sit in the fridge after you first put the butter in?

In your recipe, you specify heavy cream and then just cream for icing. And the cream is supposed to harden. What type of cream is used in the icing?

Hello Casey, thank you for your question. We use heavy cream for icing as well, I added this information to the ingredients and steps. 😊

Can you convert this to U. S. oz, tbs, etc.?  We tried making this cake using a conversion chart and it did not work out.  Also, do you put the ganache on the cake while the cake is in the pan or does it go over the sides as well?

Hello! I put the ganache while the cake is in a pan, actually I keep in there until it's fully done 😊 And I will try to convert the measuing units 😊 Thank you for your comment!

I did it and it was very good ...  but it tastes a little different than Ikea... I think the cream is too creamy, I will try with less butter... and I have to try with toasted hazelnuts/almonds too ... thank you!!!
