Cashew Nut Butter Cake







Cashew Nut Butter Cake Recipe

200g butter
150g fine or castor sugar
3 eggs
130g plain flour
20g milk powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
100g cashew nuts (toasted and chopped)

Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add in eggs one at a time beating thoroughly after each addition
Fold in sifted flour, baking powder and milk powder and chopped cashew nuts and mix well. Do not overmix.
Spoon batter into prepared line cake tin or in my case I have used muffin cups. Decorate top with more cashew nuts. Bake at preheated oven at 180C for 25 minutes.

Note: I have to add that I added about 2 tbsp of milk because the butter that I have used seems to be quite dry after beating. Not as soft and creamy as the usual butter that I have used.

  6. Hi Emily, of course you can use cake flour. I will edit my posting to indicate that I have added 2 tbsp of milk because I find the butter that I have used after beating is quite dry.
