Discover the pleasure of an easy-to-make nut cake that will delight any sweet lover. This simple recipe will guide you step by step in achieving a perfect dessert with a fluffy texture and rich flavor, thanks to the roasted nuts. Whether you serve it at a gathering with friends or as a personal treat, each slice will transport you to a world of flavor.

Ingredients:
- 250 g flour
- 130 g butter (at room temperature)
- 100 g sugar
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 1 packet of baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 150 g nuts (ground or coarsely chopped, according to preference)
- A little powdered sugar (for decoration, optional)

Instructions:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by preparing all the ingredients. It is important for the butter to be at room temperature for better incorporation into the dough. If you desire an even more intense flavor, you can lightly toast the nuts in a dry pan until golden.

2. Mixing the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift the flour together with the baking powder and salt. This step helps to evenly distribute the ingredients and prevent lumps in the dough.

3. Creaming butter and sugar: In another bowl, add the softened butter and both types of sugar (regular and vanilla). Use an electric mixer or a spatula to combine the ingredients well until you achieve a creamy and homogeneous mixture.

4. Adding the eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. This step is crucial for ensuring an airy and fluffy texture of the cake.

5. Combining the ingredients: Gradually add the mixture of dry ingredients into the butter cream, mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon. Avoid overmixing, as this could make the cake dense. Finally, add the ground nuts and mix gently.

6. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or grease it with butter. Pour the batter into the tray, leveling it evenly. Bake the cake for 30 minutes or until golden and passes the toothpick test (insert a toothpick in the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done).

7. Cooling and serving: After the cake is baked, let it cool in the tray for 10 minutes, then remove it and let it cool completely on a wire rack. If desired, you can sprinkle powdered sugar on top before cutting it into slices.

Serving suggestion: This nut cake is delicious both on its own and accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or with a caramel sauce. You can also experiment with various flavors by adding cinnamon or lemon zest to the batter for an extra burst of flavor.

Possible variations: Instead of nuts, you can use hazelnuts, almonds, or even chopped chocolate to slightly change the flavor profile of your cake. Additionally, for a moister texture, add a few tablespoons of yogurt or sour cream to the batter.

This nut cake recipe is not only easy to make but also very versatile. Enjoy every slice and let yourself be carried away by the delicious flavors it offers!
