Chocolate Chips Walnut Cake

A blend of walnuts and chocolate chips,this cake is very delicious in its taste,but the simple recipe to make.I adopted the recipe from Chef Alan,must try this.

Recipe

150 gm Unsalted Butter

150 gm Sugar

1/2 tsp Vanilla Essence

3 nos Whole Eggs

225 gm Soft Flour

5 gm Baking Powder

200 gm Chocolate Chips

100 gm Chopped Walnuts

115 ml Milk 

 Cream butter and sugar together in mixing bowl till smooth.

 Add in vanilla essence and continue to beat till fluffy.

 Add in eggs slowly one by one. The best way is to break the eggs (egg yolks) before adding it in to avoid batter splitting.  

Make sure batter is completely smooth before proceeding to add the next egg.

 Add in soft flour, baking powder, chocolate chips and chopped walnut.

 Mix till all ingredients form a smooth batter. Do not overmix as cake texture will be affected (springy texture due to flour gluten).

 Lastly add in milk slowly and mix till smooth.

Brush shortening on the bottom and sides of a baking pan. Line the bottom of pan with grease proof paper to prevent the cake from  sticking to the bottom.

 Pour in cake batter and bake in oven at 175 C (347 F) for 45 minutes. Insert a toothpick into centre of cake when done. If inserted toothpick comes out clean, your cake is done.
