Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a round 9-inch (23cm) cake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, all-purpose flour, and brown sugar. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- Add the chopped almonds and walnuts into the flour mixture. Stir until the nuts are coated with the dry ingredients.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in a microwave-safe bowl. Once melted, pour the butter over the flour and nut mixture. Blend thoroughly until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the ground nutmeg over the mixture and stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, and egg until smooth and well blended.
- Create a well in the center of the dry mixture. Pour the wet ingredients into the well, then gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to maintain a light texture.
- Stir the baking soda into the batter just before pouring the mixture into the prepared cake pan. This will help the cake rise properly during baking.
- Pour the batter into the greased and floured cake pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the cake from the pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake has cooled, you can slice it and serve. Enjoy your Armenian Nutmeg Cake with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful treat!
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting for better mixing and consistency.
- Toast the walnuts and almonds lightly before adding them to the batter to enhance their flavor.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter as it can result in a denser cake.
- Check the cake a few minutes before the recommended baking time since oven temperatures can vary.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Your Armenian Nutmeg Cake is ready to be enjoyed! With its moist texture and enticing aroma, this cake is a perfect balance of flavors and will surely become a favorite. Serve it warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special touch. Happy baking!
