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.

Thank you. Looking forward to this recipe ?
Yes, this walnut butter cake is super good.
Hi, just wondering if it’s necessary to ground the walnuts into fine powder? Is it ok if it’s grainy in texture? Thanks.
A bit grainy is fine.
I have made this cake several times and it’s absolutely delicious but am disappointed that it only rises about one and a half inches! I used Self raining flour, as don’t know what all purpose flour is, but didn’t use plain flour, as the recipe says only 4 oz of flour, and I thought it wouldn’t rise enough, but even with SR flour it only rises one and a half inches! How can I make it rise more p,ease? Although it still tastes delicious, it’s an expensive cake to make if you only get a few portions out of it.
It was the best recipe I have tried. Made it for the first time and was a super hit. Every one in the home loved it and the cake finished instantly. Super easy to make and delicious to eat.
That’s awesome, thanks for trying this walnut butter cake recipe.
I don’t seem to be able to access the recipes which look delicious.

Thanks for the recipe. I don’t like to bake/cook but I tried baking with your recipe anyway and my teenage kids love it. 2nd time baking today.
Awesome, I am so glad you tried my recipe!
I found your site while browsing, this recipe popped up and i just had to try it. I made it this morning, doubled the recipe, using two loaf tins. I followed it exactly and it came out perfectly. What a delight to find it was such a success and, as you say, I know i will be making this again and again. Thank you so much!
I must be pleased for sharing your ideas. Thank you for the good writes up. It’s a brilliant job.
Hi
I would like to know how to use apple sauce instead of sugar in the walnut butter cake recipe?
I baked the walnut cake last sunday. My family loved it.
I need some clarification. Can I use self raising flour and forgo the baking powder.
For the milk I used 1 tablespoon of condensed milk.
Hi Shanti, I think you can use self raising flour but I haven’t tried it with the recipe so I can’t sure for sure that it will produce the exact same results. :)
