Nutty Layer Cake [1]
Nutty Layer Cake

Ingredients
All Purpose Flour: 215 grams or 1 and 2/3 cups
Caster Sugar: 200 grams or 1 cup
Unsalted Butter (at room temperature): 113 grams or 1/2 cup
Eggs (at room temperature): 2
Vanilla Essence: 1 tsp
Baking Powder: 1 tsp
Baking Soda: 1/2 tsp
Yogurt or Fresh Cream: 3/4 cups
<strong>Ingredients for the crumb topping:</strong>
Mixed nuts of your choice: 1 cup (I used a combination of walnuts and almonds)
Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: 1/3 cup
Light Brown Sugar: 155 grams or 1/4 cup
Cinnamon Powder: 3/4 tsp
All Purpose Flour: 1 tbsp
Preparation
-
Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius and have your 9 inch cake tin ready lined with parchment paper.
-
In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the crumb topping and mix together with the help of a spoon. Set aside.
-
In a separate bowl, beat together the unsalted butter and sugar until it forms a creamy mixture.
-
Add the vanilla essence followed by the eggs (one by one) and beat again until well-combined.
-
In a dry bowl, sift together the all purpose flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix well with the help of a spoon until well-combined.
-
Add the flour mixture to the batter a little at a time and alternate with either yogurt or fresh cream. (This would help make your cake light).
-
Fold the mixture with the help of a spatula until all the ingredients are well-combined.
-
Place half of the batter in your baking tray, and spread well with the help of a palette knife. Now add half of the crumb toppings on top of the batter.
-
Place the remaining batter over the crumbs topping. Spread carefully making sure the crumbs do not mix with the batter.
-
Add the remaining crumbs topping on top of your cake.
-
Bake the cake in your pre-heated oven at 180 degrees Celsius until a skewer inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.
-
Once your cake has baked, run a knife through the sides to ensure the cake does not stick to the tin and remove the outer edge of the cake tin. Allow the cake to cool completely over a wire rack before removing the base of the cake tin.
-
Congratulations! Your Nutty Layer Cake is now ready to be enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee!
