Schoko Nuss Kuchen
Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 3 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
– 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts
– Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Dust the greased pan with a little cocoa powder for extra flavor.
2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and hazelnuts until evenly distributed in the batter.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once completely cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for a decorative finish.
