- Preheat the oven to 170 °C (340 °F) on convection and butter the cake pan.
- Grind the walnuts with half the granulated sugar into a coarse powder.
- Beat the softened butter with the rest of the sugar until creamy, then beat in the eggs one at a time.
- Stir in the ground walnuts, sifted flour, baking powder and pinch of fleur de sel until smooth.
- Pour into the buttered pan, smooth the top and bake 35 min until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool 20 min before unmolding onto a rack. Serve warm or cold, decorated with a few walnut halves if you like.
