Southern Black Walnut Cake
Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped black walnuts
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, take a 10 inch tube pan and give it a light coating of butter or cooking spray to prevent any baked goods from sticking, then dust with flour for added non-stick properties.
3
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the butter and shortening in a harmonious union, then gradually add sugar until you achieve a smooth, creamy texture.
4
Proceed to crack in the eggs one by one, blending each egg until it's fully incorporated and there are no visible yellow streaks.
5
In a separate container, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon to create a dry mixture.
6
Gradually pour in the milk while alternating between adding the dry ingredients and creamed butter mixture.
7
Add a hint of vanilla flavoring and some chopped walnuts to the mixture before pouring it into your prepared tube pan.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out spotless.
9
Allow the baked goods to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to continue cooling completely.
