Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the layers of biscuit pieces and nuts in advance, then cover and refrigerate them overnight. Just pour the hot sugar mixture over them before baking to ensure they cook evenly and rise beautifully.
What can I use instead of nuts?
If you have nut allergies or prefer not to use nuts, you can replace them with seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds, or simply omit them altogether. Dried fruit or chocolate chips can also be a delicious addition.
How do I know when the cake is done baking?
The cake is done when it is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it after 20 minutes, as baking times can vary based on your oven.
