Spongy Walnut Pound Cake

Try this new dessert and my tea time favorite "Spongy Walnut Pound Cake". When I first tasted it, it was very indulging, spongy and nutty served with fresh fruit. This is a classic recipe in Indian bakery's made without nuts.

My friend Neha taught me this recipe. I was extremely overwhelmed and blow away when I took a bite of this cake for the first time. Though I don't bake often, I made this cake several times in last couple of years.
