Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 60 ml milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 50 grams walnuts, chopped
- 50 grams pecans, chopped
- 50 grams almonds, sliced
- 10 grams powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three batches, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the batter.
Fold in the chopped walnuts, pecans, and sliced almonds gently with a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
