Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter;

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Butter and flour a 10-to 12-cup fluted tube pan.
3
In a large bowl, using a hand-held electric mixer set at high speed, beat the butter until creamy, about 1 minute.
4
Add the sugar and continue beating at high speed until light and creamy, about 2 minutes.
5
Sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
6
At low speed, beat in 1/2 cup of the flour mixture, then beat in 1 of the eggs.
7
Beat in another 1/2 cup of the flour mixture, then 1 of the remaining eggs.
8
Repeat with another 1/2 cup of the flour mixture, and the last egg.
9
Beat in the remaining flour along with the sour cream and vanilla.
10
Using a spatula, fold in the walnuts and chocolate.
11
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
12
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes in the preheated oven until the cake begins to shrink from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
13
Remove the cake from the oven and cool for about 10 minutes in the pan, then turn it out onto a wire cake rack.
14
Cool completely before serving.

Note

The surface of the cake will crack during baking; this is normal and adds to the rustic appearance.

Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for the best texture and volume when creaming.

For easier unmolding, let the cake cool in the pan for no more than 10-15 minutes before inverting onto a rack.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
