When in doubt, cut them up really fine, and only use half the amount you originally planned on. Carrot cake has several spices in it that may help take the attention away from the walnuts.

: I am not sure here...true black walnuts have a very strong, destinctive flavor that, to me, overpowers anything they are in.

As suggested, try one and see what you think.

: Easy. Pop one into your mouth and close your eyes. Does it taste just like a regular walnut, if so then you're going to be ok. I suspect it does.

: Hello All,

I made a 14 inch carrot cake yesterday and the only walnuts I had were black walnuts. Does anyone know if using these nuts will alter the tast of the cake?

Thank you in advance.
