Buttery-rich macadamia nuts have a pleasurable melt-in-your-mouth consistency. Native to Australia, macadamia trees have been planted in Hawaii, where they flourish. Because the shells are very hard, the nuts are usually sold shelled in vacuum-packed jars or in bulk. Shelled nuts go rancid quickly and therefore should be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator. The delicious oil extracted from macadamias is extremely low in saturated fats, free of cholesterol and high in omega-3 fatty acids, making it healthier than olive oil. The oil should also be refrigerated. This recipe courtesy of Williams-Sonoma. Adapted from Williams-Sonoma Collection Series, Muffins, by Beth Hensperger (Simon & Schuster, 2003).

Number Of Ingredients 17

For the topping: 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
For the cake: 1 cup unsalted macadamia nuts
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cake flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sour cream
2 eggs
1/2 cup macadamia nut oil
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1 Preheat an oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round springform pan. Line the bottom with a round of parchment paper and grease the paper. 2 To make the topping, in a small bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cinnamon and ginger. Add the butter and, using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut or rub in the butter until coarse crumbs form. Set aside. 3 To make the cake, coarsely chop the macadamia nuts and set aside. 4 In a bowl, stir together the all-purpose and cake flours, granulated and brown sugars, baking powder, baking soda and salt. 5 In another bowl, whisk together the sour cream, eggs, oil and vanilla until well blended. Stir the sour cream mixture into the flour mixture. Using an electric mixer on medium speed or a wire whisk, beat until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. 6 Spoon half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle evenly with half of the topping. Cover evenly with the remaining batter. Sprinkle evenly with the nuts, gently pressing them into the batter, then cover with the remaining topping. 7 Bake until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool for 20 minutes. Remove the sides of the springform pan, if using. Serve the cake warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges. Makes one 9-inch cake. 8 Note: If macadamia nut oil is not available, canola oil may be substituted.
