White chocolate cashew nut cake

After baking and cooking for many years, I still have so many recipes that I want to try.


And most of all, I still think that I'm just a people who are playing in the kitchen, or I think that I won't be able to be a chef. ^^
Because many of the recipes I made it for 1 or 2 times (except for the menus that my family members love), as I don't like to make the same recipe. It's the reason why I can't bake or cook for a living, just repeating the recipe 10 times continuously and I will be very, very, and very bored!
Last week, I bought a lot of cookbooks, so right now I really want to try many recipes. Anyway, I can't say that all of them are new recipes as you know that just changing some of the ingredients or using different amounts of the ingredients the result will be different, right?
And today, it's a simple butter cake.
But I adjust the recipe by basing on pound cake. As I wanted to use the pan that I bought from Japan, it comes with a lid so if I used the basic pound cake recipe, the cake will be higher in the center (and the texture will be denser too), and I won't be able to cover it with the lid after I frosting it.
So I add more liquid to make it lighter and it will spread easier too.

Well, if you don't have the same pan like mine, you can use an 18 cm pan instead. ^^
I really love the texture of this cake, and it becomes more delicious when eating with the buttercream, any way you can serve it plain too if you want.
