Hi Bee,
I got my first Kitchenaid Mixer today and the first recipe I tried out was this Walnut Butter Cake, which is my husband’s favourite Cake. It turned out, oh so amazing!!! I doubled the quantity of the ingredients, as I have a larger loaf pan and I wanted to bake a big batch. Turned out just perfect. This is a recipe for keeps. Plan to try out your Marble Cake and Banana Cake next. Thanks.
Rasa Malaysia
Awesome, yes, please try!

The amount of flour seems wrong & the proportions will make it taste like a Twinkie
Rasa Malaysia
Michael, this recipe is tried and tested many times and look exactly like the photos every time I bake. Have you even tried baking this recipe? If you haven’t, then do not jump to your own conclusion. This is a cake, not a Twinkle.
Hae
Same. This recipe is somewhat wrong. I weighed every ingredients but the flour seems alittle off.. i did not get a cake batter.
Rasa Malaysia
Hae, this recipe works 100%. I have baked it dozens of time, just follow the instructions and weight precisely and there is no way you will fail this recipe.

Hi Rasa, can I use round cake tins to make this recipe??
Rasa Malaysia
Yes.
JES
can I use cake flour instead? Dun have to put baking powder if I use cake flour right? Thank you.
Rasa Malaysia
You need baking powder. I think cake flour should be fine. Cake flour is just lower gluten.
JES
thank you.

Let’s say If I’d like to make a bigger batch of this, the ingredients all should multiply by 2 right? Please advise. Thanks
