How To Make Walnut Butter Cake
Step 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease two (2) mini loaf pans with butter. Sift the flour and baking powder, and set aside.
Step 2. Cream the butter, vanilla extract, and sugar until fluffy and pale (this takes about 4 minutes using an electric hand mixer at speed 2). Add the eggs one at a time, creaming well until combined before adding the next one.
Step 3. Fold in the flour, ground walnuts, and milk, mixing until well combined. Transfer the batter into the greased pan and gently shake to level it off. Sprinkle the whole walnuts on top.
Step 4. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the walnut butter cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. Loosen the cake from the loaf pans and slice into pieces.

What a good momma you are! This looks so comforting and yummy. I can imagine this becoming one of those food items your boy grows up associating with fond feel good memories.
Can this recipe be doubled
Yes I am sure it can.
Wouldn’t four eggs be too much though?
Thank you for the nice recipe.
What size pan is needed?
Two mini loaves or 6-inch round cake pan.
Is 4 ounces flour correct? I have never made such a small cake.
Yes. It only takes 110g flour, this makes two mini loaves or 6-inch round cake pan.
Could I substitute a banana for the egg?
I don’t think so you need eggs to make cakes.
No you don’t need eggs for cakes :) just look up the thousands of amazing vegan cake recipes on pinterest. You can use a packaged egg replacer or a flax egg. Try aquafaba + flax/chia egg im sure it’ll try out great :)
