Two of the most popular baking recipes on Rasa Malaysia are butter cake and brownie butter cake.
I am always excited to try new butter cake recipes.
I like simple cakes, plain old rich, buttery, sweet cakes that fill the house with the wonderful smell of baking.
When I chanced upon this amazing walnut butter cake recipe on Nasi Lemak Lover, I knew I had to make it.

My little boy was browsing the internet with me and saw the pictures of the cake.
He pointed to me and said “Mama, can you make this for me?” Of course I would.
He loves walnut and this cake is just perfect as his afternoon snack…as a mom, I would make anything that he wanted to eat.
The walnut is first ground and then mixed with the batter and the cake is topped with whole walnuts.
The cake is just beautiful.
The next day, two loaves of this beautiful, extremely delicious, light, yet buttery walnut butter cake came out from my oven.
I gave some to my friend to try and he absolutely loved it.
This walnut butter cake recipe is a keeper.
I am sure I will be making it over and over again.
Try it out, trust me, you will be very happy if you do.

Hi Bee,
I tried yr butter cake recipe. Why is the cake very oily? Did I whisk the butter incorrectly? Or us it the brand of the butter that matters? I used SCS butter for yr walnut cake recipe n was fine. This time I used President brand cos it’s on offer.
Thanks in advance!
Rasa Malaysia
The butter ccake is not oily as you can see from my picture. It’s so good, much better than walnut butter cake. Yeah, different brand of butter has different oil/water content. Not all butter yields the same results.
Maria
Thx Bee for yr reply! I tot I didn’t whisk correctly. The other thing is I’m amazed how you do it to be so flat. Mine got a dome.
