Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 Large eggs
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Butter flavoring
- 1.5 cups Chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or two 8-inch round cake pans.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract, butter flavoring, and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s) and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely if desired.
Serve the cake as is or topped with your favorite frosting or glaze. Enjoy!
