Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1-3/4 cup Sugar; 28 Tablespoons Unsaltened Butter, Softened; 6 whole Large Eggs; 2 cups Confectioners Sugar; 2-1/4 cups All-purpose Flour; 3/4 cups Cocoa Powder; 2 cups Chopped Walnuts; _____; FOR THE GLAZE:; 3/4 cups Confectioners Sugar; 1/4 cups Cocoa Powder; 6 teaspoons Milk, Or More As Needed

Servings: persons

1-3/4 cup Sugar
28 Tablespoons Unsaltened Butter, Softened
6 whole Large Eggs
2 cups Confectioners Sugar
2-1/4 cups All-purpose Flour
3/4 cups Cocoa Powder
2 cups Chopped Walnuts
_____
FOR THE GLAZE:
3/4 cups Confectioners Sugar
1/4 cups Cocoa Powder
6 teaspoons Milk, Or More As Needed

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the sugar and butter together on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar. Stir in the flour, cocoa, and nuts until well blended. Spoon the batter into a 10-inch well greased bundt or tube pan, and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is set and the edges are beginning to pull away from the sides the pan (the cake has a soft center, so the ordinary doneness test of inserting a toothpick does not work).
3
Cool the cake, upright, in the pan on a wire rack for 1-1/2 hours, then invert onto a serving plate and let cool for at least 2 hours.
4
To make the glaze, mix together all the ingredients, adding enough milk to achieve a drizzling consistency (you may need to use an electric mixer to whip it some). Spoon over the top of the cake, allowing some to run down the sides.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
