Ingredients
- 250 g All-purpose flour
- 200 g Ground hazelnuts
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 150 g Unsalted butter (softened)
- 3 large Eggs
- 120 ml Whole milk
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 2 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 20 g Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch (22 cm) bundt pan or loaf pan. Lightly dust the pan with flour and tap out the excess.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground hazelnuts, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes, using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk in two additions, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Once cooled, optionally dust the top with powdered sugar for garnish before serving.
Step 10
Slice and enjoy your Zimt Nusskuchen with a cup of coffee or tea!
