This moist and tender cake from Phyllis Rank of Wapato, Washington is rippled with layers of chocolate and chopped walnuts. It's great for snacking or even breakfast on a cold winter day.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup shortening
8 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 egg
3/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup 2% milk
6 tablespoons chopped walnuts, divided
1 tablespoon baking cocoa
2 tablespoons butter, softened
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, cream shortening and 6 tablespoons sugar. Beat in egg. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Set aside. Combine 3 tablespoons walnuts, cocoa and remaining sugar.
2. Spoon a third of the batter into a 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with half of the cocoa mixture; dot with half of the butter. Carefully repeat layers. Top with remaining batter and walnuts.
3. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve warm. Yield: 6 servings.
