Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Cake Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine 200 grams of all-purpose flour, 150 grams of sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk them together thoroughly to ensure even distribution.

Add in 100 grams of softened unsalted butter and 3 large eggs. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Gradually pour in 200 milliliters of milk while continuing to mix. Lastly, fold in 100 grams of ground nuts until just incorporated.

Step 2

Bake the Cake

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Once baked, allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 3

Prepare the Frosting

While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting by beating together 300 grams of cream cheese and 50 grams of softened unsalted butter until creamy.

Gradually add 100 grams of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, continuing to beat until fluffy and smooth.

Step 4

Assemble the Cake

Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of frosting over the top.

Gently place the second layer on top and use the remaining frosting to cover the entire cake evenly.

Step 5

Garnish and Serve

Finally, garnish the top with chopped nuts and a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an elegant touch.

Slice the cake and enjoy your delicious nut latte cake with friends and family!

Servings

When it comes to serving your Nut Latte Cake, think outside the box! 🥳✨

For an elegant touch, dust the top with powdered sugar and add a sprinkle of chopped nuts. You can serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, creating a delightful contrast between the warm cake and cold ice cream. 🍦💖

Another great idea is to pair your cake with a side of whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce, adding layers of flavor that will make your guests swoon. 🍫🥄

Don’t forget to serve it with a hot cup of coffee or tea to elevate the experience. The rich flavors of the cake will pair beautifully with your favorite beverage, making for a delightful afternoon treat. ☕🥳

Variations

If you're looking to switch things up, we have some **exciting variations** for gluten-free and vegan diets! 🌱💚

For a **gluten-free** version, simply replace all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend. This not only keeps it gluten-free but also adds a lovely nutty flavor!

For a **vegan** twist, substitute eggs with flaxseed meal (1 tablespoon mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water equals one egg) and dairy milk with almond or oat milk. Switch the butter for a rich coconut oil, and you’re ready to bake a delicious vegan treat that everyone can enjoy!

Faq

  • What if my cake is too dense?

    If your cake turns out dense, it could be over-mixed. Make sure to mix until just combined to keep it light and fluffy!

  • Can I make this cake in advance?

    Absolutely! You can bake it a day ahead. Just store it in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

  • How can I tell if my cake is done baking?

    Test your cake by inserting a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean with just a few crumbs attached, it’s done!

  • Can I add different flavors to the cake?

    Definitely! Feel free to experiment by adding extracts like vanilla or almond, or even incorporating different nuts!

  • What can I use instead of eggs if I am out?

    If you’re out of eggs, you can try using applesauce (1/4 cup per egg) or a mashed banana to provide moisture!

  • How can I make my cake more visually appealing?

    Adding a simple frosting made of cream cheese or buttercream can elevate the looks. Top it with nuts or berries for extra flair!
