๐ฅง๐ง๐ซโ๏ธCrunchy Walnut Cake
Ingredients
For the crunchy topping
ยพ cup (150 g) packed brown sugar
โ
cup (50 g) all-purpose flour
ยผ cup (60 g) cold butter, cut into small pieces
ยพ cup (90 g) walnuts, roughly chopped
For the cake
2 cups (300 g) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
ยผ teaspoon salt
ยฝ cup (125 g) softened butter
ยพ cup (150 g) packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
ยพ cup (180 ml) milk
Method
Preheat the oven to 350ยฐF (180ยฐC). Grease and flour a 9-inch (23 cm) fluted ring pan, making sure to get into all the edges.
Start with the crunchy topping. In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar and flour. Add the cold butter and work it in until the mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in the chopped walnuts, then set the bowl aside.
For the cake batter, combine the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt in a separate bowl.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each one.
Turn the mixer to low speed and gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until everything is just combined.
Spoon half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle over half of the walnut topping, then carefully add the rest of the batter. Finish with the remaining crunchy topping.
Bake for 50โ60 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown.
Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Carefully turn it out, then flip it back over so the crunchy walnut topping is facing up.
Serve warm for the best contrast between the soft cake and the crisp, nutty topping.
