WHY WE ADORE THIS RECIPE
If you have been following our website for any length of time, you are aware of our fondness for traditional recipes! We take pride in our efforts to include them all on our site, but naturally, we must first prepare them. We feature several wonderful pound cakes on our site, and this one was missing. We added cream cheese frosting to it, and it was a hit. The distinctive flavor of black walnuts is one we cherish.
🍴ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS

HOW TO PREPARE
This is a traditional pound cake, which means it does not contain a leavening agent; the eggs are responsible for the rise in this recipe. It is accurate as stated.

Black Walnut Pound Cake
We added cream cheese frosting and attempted to pipe it onto the cake, which did not turn out perfectly because my piping equipment malfunctioned, and I had to freehand it! HAHA! However, if you follow us, you know we prioritize flavor over perfection and enjoy our time in the kitchen. I wasn’t going to remake the entire cake, so we embraced the outcome!
SUGGESTION
This cake does not contain a leavening agent, and it is accurate as written. The eggs are what cause the cake to rise. Additionally, you can use any frosting you prefer, and you can also apply the cream cheese frosting all over the cake instead of using the piping method.
