I’m very happy to share my Easy Nut Bread recipe with you – it’s too good to keep to myself! There’s something so wholesome about nut bread. I flavor mine with vanilla and cinnamon only, and let the walnuts add their own nuttiness.
The simple cake, with the crunch of nuts, feels a lot healthier than something covered in frosting or squidgy with chocolate. I find the buttermilk adds a slight hint of sourness that balances the sweetness of the cake perfectly. I often use wholemeal flour instead of white flour, which adds some more of that delicious nutty flavor. This recipe yields two delicious loaves, so why not take one to a friend’s for tea?
To make Easy Nut Bread, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease two loaf pans.
Place the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large bowl and beat together until smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt together.
Add about a cup of the flour mixture to the batter and stir until just combined. Add half a cup of the buttermilk and stir again. Continue adding a little of the flour and buttermilk alternately until both ingredients are fully combined in the batter.
Add the walnuts to the batter and mix until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter equally into the two prepared pans.
Bake the cakes for 55 minutes. To test the cakes, insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the cake. If they are fully baked, the toothpick should come out clean.
Remove the pans from the oven and leave to cool for around 10 minutes before tipping out onto wire racks to cool completely.
