Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Dark brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard-size bundt pan or a loaf pan.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Alternately add the flour mixture and whole milk to the butter-sugar mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the dark brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped nuts.

Step 8

Pour half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle half of the sugar-nut mixture over the batter.

Step 9

Add the remaining batter on top and evenly sprinkle the remaining sugar-nut mixture. Gently swirl a knife through the batter to create a marbled effect.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Once cooled, slice and serve. This cake pairs beautifully with coffee or tea!
