Here's everything you need for this indulgent walnut chocolate chip loaf cake. This recipe makes one loaf, which gives you about 10 servings.
Ingredients to Gather
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup chocolate chips
1 tbsp coarse sugar, for topping
Directions to Follow
Preheat oven to 350F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and spread the walnuts on it. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until toasted. Allow nuts to cool, then process 3/4 cup in the food processor to make walnut flour. Set aside flour and remaining nuts.
Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and walnut flour.
In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, butter and egg until well-combined. Stir in half of the flour mixture, followed by the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Stir in remaining flour mixture and mix until almost all the dry ingredients have been combined. Stir in chocolate chips and remaining chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
Pour batter into prepared pan and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if using.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs attached. Allow cake to cool in the pan before turning it out to slice.
