Description

A warm and delightful walnut cinnamon cake perfect for cozy gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by greasing and dusting it with flour.
  2. In a spacious bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt, mixing them thoroughly.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter until it becomes airy and light.
  4. Gradually incorporate the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is well blended before adding the next.
  5. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  6. Slowly introduce the dry mixture into the butter and egg blend, stirring gently until just combined to maintain a tender texture.
  7. Carefully fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  8. Pour half of the batter into the prepared dish.
  9. Create a cinnamon-sugar mixture by combining the brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
  10. Sprinkle half of this mixture over the first layer of batter.
  11. Layer the remaining batter on top, followed by the rest of the cinnamon-sugar blend.
  12. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  13. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before moving it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For added moisture and richness, consider mixing in 1/2 cup of sour cream.
  • You can swap walnuts for pecans for a different flavor profile.
  • A drizzle of cream cheese frosting can elevate the sweetness.
