Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter (softened)
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups milk
- 0.5 cups chopped almonds
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cups chopped hazelnuts
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake tin or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined after each addition.
Fold in the chopped almonds, walnuts, and hazelnuts gently using a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, optionally dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving.
