Zweiunddreissichers is a traditional German cake that is typically served during the holiday season or on special occasions. The name of the cake translates to "Thirty-Twoers" in English, which is believed to refer to the 32 walnuts used in the recipe. The cake is made with sweet butter, flour, eggs, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and ground walnuts, which give it a characteristic nutty flavor and dense texture. It is often served with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2.	In a large bowl, cream the butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.
3.	Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4.	Grind the walnuts in a food processor and add them to the butter mixture along with the vanilla extract.
5.	Add the flour and breadcrumbs and stir until combined.
6.	Grease and flour a bundt cake pan and pour the batter into the pan.
7.	Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
8.	Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
