2 TBSP Condensed Milk (optional)
1 Cup Milk
2 Cups of Walnuts and Pecan1 Tsp Hersheys Cocoa Powder
1 Cup Sugar
1 Tsp Baking Soda
1/2 Stick Butter (you may also use refined oil)
Sift the flour and baking soda. Keep aside.
Microwave walnuts and pecan in milk for around 2 minutes and grind it after it cools down.
Add the butter, condensed milk, cocoa powder and sugar to the flour and mix well.
Slowly add the flour to the grounded mixture without forming lumps.
Grease the pan . I used a 9 inch round pan for baking this cake. (Note: Always sprinkle little flour on the greased pan and turn it upside down to get the excess flour out. This helps in preventing the cake to stick at the bottom and come off easily when getting the cake out of the pan)
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degree F.
Pour the contents into the greased pan and bake for 25 - 30 minutes or when a fork is inserted it should come out clean without getting sticky!!
It came out well...dense and soft!!
It is good to be served along with coffee or as an evening snack. If you want it richer you may add whipped cream or butter cream icing to it but it tastes pretty good without it too.
Best wishes to my dearest niece and her husband for a very Happy Married Life.....sure will bake a cake when she visits me :)
