Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cubed and cold
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
1-1 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg (you can also use cinnamon and/or cardamom as a substitute, or use a combination)
1 egg
1/2 cup walnut pieces (break them up with your hand, you don't really want them chopped, but you don't want them whole, either)

Steps:

  • Cut the butter into cubes and place in the freezer or the back of the fridge to make it very cold. It needs to be COLD for this recipe.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 F.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the milk and the baking soda. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and the baking powder.
  • Whisk in the brown sugar to the flour mixture until combined.
  • Using a fork (or your fingers) mash in the cold butter cubes until you get a more-or-less uniform crumbly mixture.
  • Press HALF of this mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form a crust. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and the nutmeg for 2-3 minutes, or until it is mixed well and frothy.
  • Pour the milk with baking soda into the bowl with the eggs and whisk until combined.
  • Pour this egg mixture over the remaining half of the crumbly mixture in the bowl, and whisk until it is incorporated (it will be very liquidy).
  • Pour the liquid over the crust in the springform.
  • Gently and evenly sprinkle the walnut pieces on top.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan, and then release.
  • Enjoy!

We were invited for dinner at a friend's house and she served us this wonderful cake for dessert. I found this recipe at Cooks.com and Chow Times.com. I have yet to try making it myself to see if it works. Will probably add a review if it turns out great.
