Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 5 Large eggs
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Mixed nuts (chopped, such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
• 0.25 cup Extra mixed nuts (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with milk, starting and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined after each addition.

Step 6

Add the vanilla extract and fold in the chopped nuts gently using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle the extra mixed nuts evenly over the top for added crunch.

Step 8

Bake the pound cake in the preheated oven for 65-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve the Nuts Stuff Pound Cake as is, or pair it with a drizzle of honey, a dollop of whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
