How to Make Apple Walnut Pound Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
- Cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will take about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped apples, walnuts, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should also be pulling away slightly from the sides of the pan.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
