Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
Wet Ingredients
- 4 Large Eggs
- 100 gm Butter softened, unsalted
- 1 cup Sugar powdered
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 cup Milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan. Lining the pan with parchment paper will make removing the cake easier.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla extract until light and frothy. The mixture should double in volume and fall from the whisk in ribbons.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. This creates air pockets for a tender cake.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Sifting the dry ingredients helps to combine them thoroughly and aerate the mixture, resulting in a lighter cake.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can develop the gluten in the flour and make the cake tough.
- Add the milk and mix until the batter is smooth. The milk adds moisture and helps to create a tender crumb.
- Fold in the chopped walnuts. Distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice and serve. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Toast the walnuts lightly in a dry skillet before folding them into the batter to intensify their flavor and add extra crunch.
- For an added layer of flavor, swirl a few tablespoons of maple syrup or honey into the batter just before baking, which complements the nutty taste beautifully.
- If you’d like to keep the cake extra moist for several days, brush the top with a simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, boiled and cooled) immediately after baking.
- For an elegant touch, dust the cooled cake with a mix of powdered sugar and cinnamon, or drizzle with a light vanilla glaze and garnish with additional chopped walnuts.
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter in the cake batter. Be sure to let it cool slightly before incorporating it.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to a tough cake. Mix until just combined.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
