BLACK WALNUT POUND CAKE WITH CARAMEL NUT GLAZE
I found this recipe on the web, stating that it was 125 years old. I tried it and it was so good! I make this whenever I have black walnuts on hand and I added my caramel nut glaze. I've served this to company and taken it to potlucks and everyone loves it. I usually don't get to bring any home. Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. In bowl, whip butter and cream cheese together. Gradually add sugar and beat until thoroughly dissolved. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in flour gradually. Stir in vanilla and black walnut pieces.
- 2. Pour into greased and floured bundt pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 60 - 75 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before inverting. DELISH!!
Tips:
- To ensure the cake bakes evenly, use room temperature ingredients. This helps the batter to emulsify properly and prevents the cake from becoming dense or crumbly.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough, chewy cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- For a moist and flavorful cake, use freshly ground black walnuts. Pre-ground walnuts may have lost some of their flavor and aroma.
- If you don't have a Bundt pan, you can bake the cake in a 9x13 inch baking pan. However, the baking time may need to be adjusted.
- To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan thoroughly before adding the batter.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing. This will help the glaze to set properly.
Conclusion:
Black walnut pound cake is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, nutty flavor and moist, tender crumb, this cake is sure to be a hit. Whether you serve it plain or with a glaze, this cake is sure to impress your friends and family.
