Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Lightly flour the pan and tap out the excess.
In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the whole milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
