Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g All-purpose flour
- 200 g Ground hazelnuts
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 150 g Unsalted butter (softened)
- 3 large Eggs
- 120 ml Whole milk
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 2 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 20 g Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch (22 cm) bundt pan or loaf pan. Lightly dust the pan with flour and tap out the excess.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground hazelnuts, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes, using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk in two additions, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, optionally dust the top with powdered sugar for garnish before serving.
Slice and enjoy your Zimt Nusskuchen with a cup of coffee or tea!
