Ingredients for Recipe For Chocolate Walnut Cake
Cake Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder (for those who want to use dark chocolate versions, you may use 3/4 cup of cocoa powder)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup butter (use salted butter if you prefer)
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 3 eggs + 3 egg yolks (or 4 eggs) mixed thoroughly. You can use the Shake and Fold Method to make egg whites first.
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup walnuts
- 1 cup chocolate chips (or you can substitute with milk chocolate chunks, which are more stable)
- Dessert Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup sugar
- Water (for those who want to use dark chocolate versions, you may substitute this step with cocoa powder or 50% of the flour) [Also, for those who want to use milk chocolate chips instead of chocolate chips, substitute these ingredients with milk]
Mixing method:
Step 1. You multiply the ingredient quantities by how much the first two ingredients are.
Step 2. The rest of the ingredients are mixed thoroughly and then with all other ingredients.
Step 3. You mix it all at once (don’t try to be too careful in mixing because it is your cake, after all).
Step 4. Bake in two 9″x13″ baking pans.
Step 5. Put them in the oven at 350 F. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 6. Cool the cakes for about an hour or two, then frost them with a creamy chocolate frosting layer sandwiched between two layers of red velvet cake.

FAQ:
Can I use walnut oil instead of walnuts?
Sure, but you can also try other or no nuts.
Can I use another liquid sweetener instead of maple syrup?
You can, but since maple syrup is a healthier option because it contains many nutrients and antioxidants, I suggest you try it with the real thing.
Do I have to toast the nuts first?
No, but you should lightly brown them in a pan before frosting them. Otherwise, the cake will be too oily for your taste.
Do I have to use a muffin pan?
You don’t have to; you can bake the cake on a baking sheet. But since the recipe is very sticky and dense, a muffin pan is recommended.
What kind of pan should I use?
You can use any pans you prefer, but silicone baking pans are recommended if you want a great result. Those pans are made of silicone and are always gentle and non-sticky when cooking the mixtures.
