Ingredients

This old fashioned black walnut layer cake is sure to please everyone with its moist and delicious flavors. To make this recipe you will need:

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
2 1/4 cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup chopped black walnuts
3/4 cup melted butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup black walnut pieces

Instructions

To make this delicious old fashioned black walnut layer cake, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour two 9 inch round cake pans. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 2 1/4 cups of sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Fold in the chopped walnuts. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.

Frosting

To make the frosting for the cake, melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Stir in the 1/2 cup of sugar, and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and stir in the walnut pieces. Allow the frosting to cool for at least 10 minutes before spreading onto the cooled cake layers. Place one layer on a cake plate, and spread with 1/3 of the frosting. Place the second layer on top, and spread with the remaining frosting. Enjoy!
