Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 9 inch round cake pans. Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to package directions using the eggs, oil, and water. Divide batter evenly between pans.
Step 2
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 3
In a chilled bowl, whip the 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Chop the 0.5 cup walnuts into small pieces.
Step 4
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the whipped cream over the top. Sprinkle with half of the chopped walnuts. Top with the second cake layer.
Step 5
Spread the remaining whipped cream over the top of the cake and sprinkle with the remaining walnuts. Slice and serve.
