English Hard Cake, also known as English Walnut Cake, is a traditional British recipe that is typically served during tea time or as a dessert. This cake is moist, crumbly, and has a wonderful nutty flavor. It is usually made with walnuts, but pecans or hazelnuts can also be used. The cake is perfect to serve with a cup of tea or coffee, but also makes a great dessert when topped with whipped cream or served with ice cream.

Instructions

1.Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9x13 inch pan.
2.In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3.In a separate bowl, beat the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add in the egg substitute and vanilla, beating until well combined.
4.Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
5.Stir in the chopped walnuts.
6.Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, if desired.
7.Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

PROS

CONS
