Blitzkuchen

(Lightning Cake)

4 Tbsp Butter -
10 Tbsp Sugar - hahahaha
3 Eggs, beaten -
1 1/3 C Flour, sifted -
1 1/2 tsp Baking powder -
1/4 tsp Salt -
1/2 C Milk -
1 tsp Vanilla -
1/2 tsp Cinnamon –
1/4 tsp Nutmeg -
1/4 C Walnuts, chopped - (One small supermarket pack, and crush a bit more with a jar or something before you open it)
Zest from one large lemon
4 Tbsp powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS ————————————————————

Cream the butter and 10 Tbsp sugar.

Sift the dry ingredients and add alternately with the milk to the first mixture.

Add the rest of the wet ingredients and the nuts & mix.

Add the eggs and mix thoroughly.

Pour into a well-greased pan. (I use a Bundt pan, which it fills halfway.)

Sprinkle top of cake with the 4 Tbsp powdered sugar, & some more cinnamon and walnuts if you want.

Bake at 350-F for 30 minutes. (More like 40 – 45. Use toothpick method along with touch springiness.)

This isn’t an American-type cake.
