Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Mix together the flour and baking powder and set aside.
  2. Cream shortening and sugar until well creamed, then add eggs one at a time and beat until fluffy, add vanilla.
  3. Then add milk (about 1/4 at a time alternating between the evaporated and whole milk until all is used.
  4. Add flour mixture a little at a time until all is incorporated.
  5. Put half the batter in a 2-piece tube pan (or 2-3 throw away loaf pans), and then sprinkle with all or half the nuts and half of the cinnamon/sugar mixture (you can use the half of the nuts on top of the cake). Put in rest of batter and top with the other half of the cinnamon/sugar mixture and half of the nuts if not used in middle). Use the same method if using loaf pans.
  6. Bang pan three times (this is to let out any air bubbles – hold pan about an inch above counter and drop three times.
  7. Bake in a 350-degree preheated oven for one hour (less for loaf pans) or until cake tester or toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Options:.
  9. If you can find nut meal or finely ground nuts you can add them to the cake batter along with the flour mixture and eliminate the chopped nuts. I have not tried this, but I am sure you can add grated chocolate or mini-chips to the middle of the cake.
