Ingredients

3/4 cup  walnuts 1 cup  whole-wheat pastry flour (see Ingredient notes) 3/4 cup  all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons  baking powder 1/2 teaspoon  baking soda 1/4 teaspoon  salt 1 cup  buttermilk 1/4 cup  mild olive oil or canola oil 4 teaspoons  very finely chopped fresh rosemary 1 teaspoon  vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon  freshly grated lemon zest 2   large eggs, at room temperature (see Tip) 2   large egg whites, at room temperature, or 4 teaspoons dried egg whites (see Ingredient Note), reconstituted according to package directions 1 1/4 cups  sugar 1 cup  Vanilla cream (see recipe link above) Confectioners' sugar for dusting 2 cups  mixed fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries) rosemary sprigs for garnish Ingredient Note: Whole-wheat pastry flour is milled from soft wheat. It contains less gluten than regular whole-wheat flour and helps ensure a tender result in delicate baked goods while providing the nutritional benefits of whole grains. Store in the freezer. Available in large supermarkets and in natural-foods stores.Dried egg whites are pasteurized so this product is a wise choice in dishes that call for an uncooked meringue. They are also convenient in recipes calling for egg whites because there is no waste. Look for brands like Just Whites in the baking or natural-foods section of most supermarkets.To bring cold eggs to room temperature quickly, place in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes; they will beat to a greater volume. To separate eggs safely: Use an egg separator, an inexpensive gadget found in cookware stores; separating eggs the traditional way, by passing the yolk back and forth between pieces of egg shell or your hands, can expose eggs to bacteria.
