walnut brown butter pound cake

How To Make walnut brown butter pound cake

• Step 1
  Preheat oven to 325. Grease and flour a bundt pan.
• Step 2
  Melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat in a skillet. Add walnuts and stir until walnuts are toasted toasted and butter is browned. Do not burn. Set aside to cool.
• Step 3
  In a mixing bowl cream together 3 sticks softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Cream on med-high speed until light and fluffy.
• Step 4
  Add 1 tablespoon vanilla, salt, and eggs. Beat until completely mixed.
• Step 5
  Alternately add flour and buttermilk, mixing until completely incorporated.
• Step 6
  Add toasted walnuts to your food processor or blender and finely chop. Add walnuts, along with the browned butter from the pan to the batter. Stir well.
• Step 7
  Pour batter into prepared bundt pan. Bake for 75-80 minutes. Test doneness with a toothpick. Toothpick should come out with just a few moist crumbs, but not wet.
• Step 8
  While cake is baking, melt 1 stick of salted butter in a small saucepan. Cook it until slightly browned and fragrant. Stir in 3/4 cup of firmly packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 tablespoon vanilla. Stirring, bring just to a boil and remove from heat. Set aside until cake is done.
• Step 9
  After you remove the cake from the oven, poke as many holes as you can with a wooden skewer. Pour warm brown butter sauce slowly over the cake, allowing it to run into the holes you made. (Sauce may be reheated to thin it for easier pouring.)
• Step 10
  Cool completely in pan. Then invert onto serving plate.
