Coffee and walnut cake - how chunky do I want my nuts!?

[Ricekrispie22]

I’m making coffee and walnut cake for a competition and don’t know whether to stir chopped walnut pieces, or to blitz them in a food processor first? Nigella and Jamie both blitz, everybody else says just finely chop. If you were a judge, which would you prefer?

[Heaviestdirtyestsoul]

Why not both? Fine whizzed up for the deep nutty flavour and some chopped for the chunks of nut?

[Nautiloid]

Both definitely!

Chunky and way more than the recipe calls for !!!

[dontgobaconmyheart]

Oh I always do both, the textural variety is a winner for me. And like Flyingsouth says - always more than the recipe calls for!

Thanks for you opinions. Unfortunately my cake didn’t come first, second or third!

@Ricekrispie22 Could I have your recipe please ( sorry if that is cheeky). Coffee and walnut is my fave.
