Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Dust the pan with a little flour to prevent sticking.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will take about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
-
Gently fold in the chopped mixed nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once the French Nut Cake has completely cooled, slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar, if desired.
