Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Cake Batter

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). In a mixing bowl, beat the 4 large eggs and 1 cup of granulated sugar with an electric mixer until well combined. Gradually add in the chopped walnuts, 3.5 tablespoons of softened butter, and the 1 cup of all-purpose flour mixed with 2 teaspoons of baking powder.

Continue to mix until everything is evenly incorporated and the batter is smooth.

Step 2

Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into a prepared baking pan. Ensure it is evenly spread across the bottom. Place the pan in your preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes. You can check if it is done by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.

Step 3

Prepare the Frosting

While the cake is baking, make the frosting. In a separate mixing bowl, combine 7 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter with 1 can of sweetened condensed milk. Use the mixer to beat them together for about 15 minutes until the mixture is fluffy and smooth.

Step 4

Assemble and Decorate the Cake

Once the cake is baked and cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top. You can decorate it as you like, perhaps with some additional chopped walnuts or other toppings. Enjoy your delicious walnut cake!

Servings

Imagine setting this beautiful Nut Cake at the center of your table, the rich aroma filling the air. It's perfect for sharing with friends over tea or coffee ☕. **Serve with fresh fruit**, like strawberries or raspberries 🍓, for a tart contrast that balances the cake’s sweetness. For a special touch, sprinkle some *powdered sugar* on top or add **a dollop of whipped cream** for extra indulgence. Want to make it a classy dessert? Consider pairing it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream 🍦. The warmth of the cake meets the chill of the ice cream, creating a heavenly fusion. Each slice becomes more than just a treat; it’s a celebration of flavors 🥳!

Variations

Gluten-Free Option: Swap out regular flour for a gluten-free blend. Make sure to use a blend that includes xanthan gum for the right texture. 🌾❌ Vegan Option: Replace the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water for each egg) and use vegan butter or coconut oil in the cream. For a dairy-free sweetened condensed milk, use plant-based alternatives like coconut milk sweetened with sugar. 🥥🌱

Faq

  • What should I do if my cake is too dry?

    If your nut cake turns out dry, ensure that you’re measuring your flour accurately and avoid overmixing. Adding a small amount of milk or syrup when serving can add some moisture back.

  • How can I tell if my cake is baked through?

    A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Remove the cake as soon as it’s done to avoid overbaking.

  • Can I add other nuts or flavors to this cake?

    Absolutely! Feel free to mix in chopped pecans, almonds, or even chocolate chips for a unique twist. Just keep in mind the balance of flavors.

  • Is there a way to make the cake richer?

    For a richer flavor, you can add a bit of cocoa powder to the batter or use a chocolate cream instead of the regular cream. This will add depth and a delightful surprise!

  • How long can I store the cake?

    Your nut cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for about 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week. Just make sure to cover it well!

  • Can I freeze the cake?

    Yes, this cake freezes well! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. It can last in the freezer for about 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
