Directions:

Warm up the oven.

Set the oven temperature to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a loaf pan or a 9-inch round cake pan.

Get the walnuts ready.

In a dry skillet, toast the walnuts for 3–4 minutes over medium heat, or until aromatic. After letting them cool, cut them finely.


Combine the dry ingredients.


Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using) in a medium-sized bowl. Put aside.

Sugar and Cream Butter

Beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Add the vanilla and eggs.

Beat thoroughly after adding each egg one at a time. Add the vanilla extract and stir.

Add the wet and dry ingredients.

Add the dry ingredient mixture gradually, starting with the flour mixture and ending with the milk. Stir just until incorporated.

Add the walnuts and fold.

Make sure the chopped toasted walnuts are evenly distributed throughout the batter by gently folding them in.

Prepare the cake.

Evenly distribute the batter after pouring it into the prepared pan. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean after 45 to 50 minutes of baking in a preheated oven.


Chill and serve.


After letting the cake cool in the pan for ten or so minutes, move it to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Extra toppings are optional.

For a straightforward finish, sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Pour over a thin glaze of milk and powdered sugar.

For extra richness, cover with a layer of cream cheese icing.

How to Make the Greatest Walnut Cake:

For a smooth batter, make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature.

Avoid overmixing the mixture, as this could result in a dense cake.

The cake can be kept for up to three days at room temperature in an airtight container, or it can be refrigerated for extended freshness.
