🥣 Instructions
1️⃣ In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla sugar until light and fluffy. This step makes the cake airy.
2️⃣ Slowly add the oil and buttermilk (or plain yogurt) and mix until smooth.
3️⃣ Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined – don’t overmix, or the cake will lose its fluffiness.
4️⃣ Add the chopped nuts and stir gently with a spoon, keeping the batter light.
5️⃣ Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or small baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6️⃣ Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7️⃣ For the topping: In a small saucepan, melt the butter with the milk and powdered sugar. Stir until smooth, then pour over the slightly cooled cake. Sprinkle with extra chopped nuts for crunch and decoration.
💡 Tips & Serving Ideas
