Cashew Snacking Cake

• 6 T butter, softened
• 1/4 c sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 2/3 c sweetened condensed milk (about 1/2 a can)
• 3/4 c unsalted cashews, ground
• 1/2 c flour
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease an 8″ round cake pan or 8″ square baking pan.

Place the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl or food processor and beat or mix until the mixture is smooth.  Add the eggs and beat well again, then add the vanilla, condensed milk and cashews and mix until everything is well combined.

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.  Then add those dry ingredients to the butter egg mixture and stir until it’s all incorporated (but don’t beat).

Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.  Cool on a wire rack.
