How To Make Walnut Butter Cake
Step 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease two (2) mini loaf pans with butter. Sift the flour and baking powder, and set aside.
Step 2. Cream the butter, vanilla extract, and sugar until fluffy and pale (this takes about 4 minutes using an electric hand mixer at speed 2). Add the eggs one at a time, creaming well until combined before adding the next one.
Step 3. Fold in the flour, ground walnuts, and milk, mixing until well combined. Transfer the batter into the greased pan and gently shake to level it off. Sprinkle the whole walnuts on top.
Step 4. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the walnut butter cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. Loosen the cake from the loaf pans and slice into pieces.

I added 2 tbsp of mayo & 1 tbsp of yogurt. The resulting bake was fluffy & moist! Yummy.
Hii how should i adjust the temp and baking time if i bake in 6inch round pan
It should be the same just bake shorter by checking doneness.
Very good!
You mentioned two pans . What are sizes of the pans? Thanks
Mini loaf pans.
My walnut cake is nice to eat. The only problem is it is too soft and breaks easily causing the walnuts to fall off. I tried your method a number of times but the problem still persists. Please advise.
Sorry I don’t know why. It didn’t happen to me!
I hv baked this again and again for family and friends. It has always turn out well. Instead of milk, I put cream and it turns out more moist!
I have tried various butter walnut cake recipes, and this recipe is by far the best. Follow the proportions as given, and you won’t go wrong. I doubled the proportions to make a larger loaf cake. So good, thank you very much.
Baked this today was yummy! Thank you for sharing, you have helped me become a better cook ever since leaving Malaysia! Would be helpful to mention the size of the pans used, I ended up using a larger pan but reduced baking time and turned out delicious albeit it did not achieve a loaf height :)
I just made it and it is delicious. I thought the batter was quite thick so I added about 1/4 cup of milk. It was still thick and needed to be spread in the pan. I used an 8×8 pirex. The end result was a surprisingly light and buttery sponge. The walnut taste comes right through. I served it with a dollop of vanilla whip cream, but honestly it does not need any icing. I will make it again, for sure!
Thanks for your trying!
