..........Click the Edit tab and select this entry to learn more.
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
2/3 cup sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
confectioners' sugar

Directions:

1 Place the rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 × 2-inch round baking pan.

2 In a food processor or blender, finely chop the nuts. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and pulse just to blend.

3 In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter until softened. Gradually add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape the sides of the bowl. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the nut mixture just until blended.

4 Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Bake 30 minutes or until the cake golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

5 Let cool 5 minutes in the pan. Invert the cake onto a cooling rack. Turn the cake right-side up onto another rack and cool completely.

6 Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar. Store covered with an inverted bowl at room temperature up to 3 days.
