To make this Easter Walnut Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of chopped walnuts
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
For the glaze:
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons of milk
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9-inch cake pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the cake and serve.
This Easter Walnut Cake is a perfect combination of sweet and nutty flavors. The cake is moist and tender, with a crunchy texture from the chopped walnuts. The glaze adds a sweet finish to the cake, making it a delicious dessert that is sure to impress your guests.
