I got this recipe from an old Army mess hall sergeant who later became a chef down in Savannah, GA. This is a wonderful, different nut cake. It is equally good served warm or cold. This cake can be wrapped and frozen 3 to 5 months. Thaw, and if desired, reheat to serve.

Tips:

  • Properly measure ingredients: Use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients accurately. This is especially important for baking, where precise measurements are crucial for success.
  • Use room temperature ingredients: Bring ingredients like butter, eggs, and milk to room temperature before using them. This helps them incorporate more easily and evenly into the batter.
  • Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This step is essential for creating a smooth,细腻的蛋糕. Make sure to beat the mixture for at least 2 minutes, or until it is pale yellow and fluffy.
  • Gradually add eggs to the batter: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This helps prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: Preheat the oven to the desired temperature before placing the cake batter in the oven. This helps ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Do not open the oven door during baking: Opening the oven door during baking can cause the cake to fall. Resist the urge to peek!
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This helps prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.
