Armenian Nutmeg Cake V.1 - 12 Servings

Ingredients

400 g brown sugar
250 g plain flour, sifted
1 tsp baking powder
pinch salt
115g cold butter, roughly chopped
1 tsp baking soda
240 ml milk (or you can substitute sour cream)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp ground nutmeg
60 g walnuts, chopped
ground cinnamon (optional)

Method

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.  Grease a 9 inch square pan, and line with baking paper if desired.
Combine flour, baking powder and salt, then rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.  You can do this with the tips of your fingers or in your food processor. Then add sugar, and combine.
Press 1/3 - ½ of this mixture evenly over the base of the prepared cake pan, and reserve the rest.
Dissolve baking soda in milk (or sour cream), add beaten egg and nutmeg, then add to reserved mixture.  Combine well.  Pour into pan and sprinkle nuts, and some cinnamon if desired, over top. 
Bake in oven for 45 minutes to 60 minutes (start testing for doneness with a skewer after about 45 minutes).  Allow to stand for 10 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool.
