Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients, mixing with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
6. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped walnuts until well blended.
7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-walnut mixture on top.
8. Pour the remaining batter over the topping and then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-walnut mixture on top.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Serve warm or at room temperature, enjoying its delightful flavors with a cup of coffee or tea.
