My grandma would make each of the grandkids their favorite cake for their birthday. Mine was her black walnut cake with her carmel icing. I loved it. She would make extra icing and pour it very thick onto the cake. Such good memories. Your channel is basically my childhood. I am from Indiana, but all your recipes and culture are so very familiar.
My grandparents had black walnut trees in the front yard and one right outside the fence. The car tires helped remove the hulls. I love the stinky smell of those green hulls. I like black walnuts. Black walnut ice cream. yum!!
I love Black Walnuts and Pound Cake! I've cracked many of walnuts in my life for cakes, ice cream, or just to eat. I love anykind of Pound Cake! Thank you Tipper for this recipe! Mouth watering for sure! God Bless. 🙏🙏❤❤
Black walnut fans here also! My daddy's favorite ice cream! Love the story about Pap and Granny! My daughter and son-in-law have very deep roots in OK. They made a trip to NM with his family recently. My daughter wanted to visit her maternal great- grandparents' graves while there(only family buried in NM. They were from TN and went west to work the harvest). Her husband's grandmother wanted to visit her parents' graves while there also. Lo and behold, they were buried in the same cemetery! My daughter said "Who would have ever thought we would be 800 miles from home standing at my great-grandparents graves and can see your great-grandparents graves!" And both great-grandfathers' names were John.
Oh the memories...My Mom, Dorothy Margaretta Salmon passed in '02. She was also know as "Aunt Dot", Made many pound cakes. We also loved black walnuts and she and I had a favorite ice cream: black walnut. I am going to try your walnut pound cake in her memory! Skip Salmon, Roanoke, VA
We love black walnuts. We have many older black walnut trees in our yard so we have plenty! My husband makes wood stain out of the black walnut shells.
Tipper, I’ve never tasted Black Walnuts but I love most all nuts. I’ll have to buy some. I’m actually getting my eggs and butter to room temperature, to make my Aunt Merle’s Pound cake. We’re going to have a family get together and my daughter in love asked me if I would make it to go with some strawberries. I love making it because it brings such wonderful memories of us sitting around the table,drinking coffee, and eating her pound cake. Thank you for sharing your recipe.❤️
Yes black walnuts are a unique flavor and we have a million memories of fetching, drying them out, cracking them and then the reward of eating them in Mom's famous chocolate fudge.
I love black walnuts! When I was a girl there was a season where we could get black walnut ice cream. The one time of the year where I didn't have to have chocolate.
Just noticing reading thru comments how your videos take people back to their childhood or earlier days. How wonderful that in this busy world people are able tp stop watch someone else's memories and then reflect on their past good times/memories.
I remember having black walnuts growing up in Kentucky, we would crack them for our mom and our hands would get died black, but they were so good. I'm sure you shared a generous piece with Granny.
@@CelebratingAppalachia We used to go see an old family friend about 10 miles away and she had a HIUGE black walnut tree in front of her house and we'd get a big box full, hulls and all. Beat the meats out with a hammer and a flatiron.
Black walnuts are my favorite. I used to crack them out and make my fresh apple cakes with them. I always wore rubber gloves to get the hulls off and let the walnuts dry out in my basement for several months. Then id crack them out. Time consuming job, but they are well worth it. My cakes turn out great if i do say so myself. Haha.
My Mother in law. We called her Granny too.She made black walnut cakes. Every time there was a benefit for some one in the community.Someone giving the benefit would go to Granny's house and ask her to make a black walnut cake for it. The bids would go very high .up in the 100 dollars.Thats why everyone wanted Granny's cake for the benefit. They were truly good.Granny is gone now she passed away at 96,Her birthday will be this Feb.26 she would have Been 105 this year. We sure do miss her. ❣️ Thanks for sharing your wonderful videos . They make me think of good times past💞🙏🏼
I can remember my mother using a wooden mallet and getting the skin off the walnuts, then she would let them dry a little before trying to crack them to keep hands from getting so dark. We would sit on this big flat rock and crack out walnuts to have for fudge for Christmas. We of course wanted to eat them as we cracked them out. 😅 That was a great tip on the cake flour. Swansdown was the name of that flour. That cake looked so good. The crunchy part is my favorite. All I needed was a cup of coffee and a piece of that cake. 😊 Thanks for all your recipes.
When my mama was still alive she would make black walnut cake it was so delicious I came from a family of 11 children also so she would make 2 cakes because we all loved it one of my friends makes a black walnut cake but she uses a white cake mix but it's really good thank you for sharing your recipe God Bless 🙏
Ok, another recipe I am saving in my library! Love pound cake and black walnuts. Just like you, I also love to make recipes that my family has made in years past. Thanks for sharing Tipper!
I love black walnuts too. My daddy shared black walnut ice cream with me when I was a little girl. I was hooked. Partly because it was delicious and partly because he loved it. I love your channel.
My mother loved black walnuts. I remember her buying black walnut cookies and black walnut ice cream. I didn’t like or dislike the flavor particularly, but something in the walnuts made sores in my mouth, so I avoided eating them. Maybe it’s an allergy. But I would definitely make that pound cake without the walnuts. It’s a great recipe. I didn’t know the trick about making cake flour. Proves we are never too old to learn! 😃👍🏻❤️
Here is a big hello from Ontario, Canada. My Mom toured your area with my Grandfather in l922-25 and has your lifestyle in her 'bones', she sang your songs to us and made many of these recipes ... it is very comforting to watch your videos and share your lives with us. Cheers
Not crazy about black walnuts but remember gathering black walnuts, staining our hands. My dad liked them . If make it, I'll use English walnuts. Great memory though. Thanks for sharing. ❤❤
Thanks for talking about the black walnuts; my Gram used them in her jello dessert which I had not had since I was a little girl. You said Walmart had them which I ordered and received. Couldn’t wait to open the package and taste them after all these years and it brought tears to my eyes; the wonderful memory of her dessert and that flavor. Thanks again for the memories❤
We have a black walnut tree and I get them and dry them out and crack them every year. Can't wait to try this recipe for sure! I'm like you I love them.
Hello this is Wayne from Colorado and I would love to say what an inspiration that you your husband and your daughters are. I’m getting close to retirement and your life style is what I would love to have. Going from a hustle bustle lifestyle to a more relaxed kind of lifestyle,not saying you folks aren’t hard working but it’s different from what I’m used to. Keep up the great videos!
I was so excited that you had a recipe featuring black walnuts. When I was 9 or 10 years old my Dad gave me an allowance of 25 cents a week. I loved to read and I loved black walnut ice cream so I worked out a routine - Every Saturday afternoon I'd walk downtown to the pharmacy and take my time, very carefully choosing which comic book I most wanted to spend 15 cents on, then I'd go over to the ice cream counter on the other side of the pharmacy and spend 10 cents on a double scoop black walnut ice cream cone to enjoy on my walk back home. To me, there was no more satisfying way to spend my time and my 25 cents. This is one of my most favorite childhood memories.
You're as good as anyone doing cooking videos, Tipper. Over Christmas a friend on Facebook showed her pound cakes that she makes for gifts. I had NO idea how many different bundt pans there are, I thought they were all the same. This friend had 6 different pans in different fancy configurations, that really made her cakes stand out.
My mother and grandmother used to make black walnut cake. They would tell us if we picked out the walnuts they would make us a Cake. They are wonderful. Love them.
Looks yummy. I could actually smell the black walnuts. My mom used to make them too. They tend to grow at the edge of woods where I grew up in Lincoln county but most has been cut down. I'm blessed to have a small tree here in Burke county. I think I'll go pound till I get a cup and make it. Lol. Thanks!
I’m going to try that pound cake, I love black walnuts. Brings a lot of wonderful childhood memories. We had a Hugh black walnut tree, and dad would put the walnuts in the driveway, so cars would run over them and knock the outer shell off. My job was to cure them and then pick out the nutmeat.
My mom made this cake without the walnuts. We call it "mom's walnut no walnut cake". She always frosted it with a brown sugar caramel icing and it was always requested for our birthday cakes - yum! I must try this with walnuts.
I love black walnuts!!! Need to find the recipe Mother would make. It was a brown sugar pound cake, FULL of black walnuts. If I can't find it, I'll have to definitely try yours Tipper as it looks delicious! Now you have me craving black walnuts.
We have a black walnut tree. We usually sell them to the Amish. I used to hang a few bags to cure, crack them, then pick them out while watching TV. I made pies and used them in cakes. Very good flavor. I'm not up to the process these days. The cake looks good! ❤️
I remember those black walnuts with that hard shell. We would take a rock and crack those nuts and dig out the meat! I love them !! Your cake looks great! Going to be making it!! Thanks!!! God bless and love to you and your Pressley fam! 💕🤗🙏🏻
My sweet Daddy used to crack black walnuts for us to use in fudge, my mommy's applesauce cake.. * christmas cake every year... that's for sweet memories ❤
I grew up in Kentucky and love black walnuts. I'm the only one in the family that likes the taste. My best memory is my Dad would pick out a quart jar of black walnuts and give them to me a Christmas, after I had left home.
Brings back memories of my mama making a black walnut cake in her large cast iron skillet…daddy cracked lots of black walnuts & sold a lot too…mama usually kept a lot of bags of them in the freezer….I love them & would eat them but they would put blisters around my tongue….but I still ate them…lol…fresh pineapple does that to my tongue too…your cake looked really good 😊
Ollie's discount store sells small bags of shelled black walnuts. A tip for adding eggs one at a time is to put them in a liquid measuring cup (with a spout) and you can just pour them in. As long as you don't break the yolks, they stay separate and you can control how many go in. Your cake turned out beautiful!
I still make foods from my childhood that my family made in memory of them. I often wondered how far back those recipes go…..my g-grandma always told me stories of her grandfather 1861-1865 when he was a POW and I was shocked that I was talking to someone who had spoken with a CW veteran.
Black walnuts are so delicious. I haven’t found them anywhere in SoCal…only rootstock grafted to English walnuts. I am remembering how my mom would let us “lick” the bowl and beaters when she made a cake. I never knew why she would say “lick the bowl” when she meant we could use our fingers to get the bits if batter left after the baking pans were filled.
Like you, I'm a real fan of black walnuts. My immediate family always had access to walnut trees, and whenever we were going to visit more distant kin, who didn't have the good fortune to live near walnut trees, Momma would always break and pick out a big lot of them to take as gifts. The nuts were more valuable than gold to Daddy's momma and his aunts and all. Grandma put the in her tea cakes. Yum yum!
Thank you for this recipe, and I love black walnuts. I remember having black walnuts at my grandparents. They had a lot of the trees on the farm. They are so hard to pick out, but so rewarding. It could be my favorite nut, but haven’t had them in years now. I love to use them in divinity too. I am also happy about learning how to make cake flour too. I didn’t know that.
Course, Tipper, I know, have similar story but,I’ll save that for another day! A family friend showed me that Jiffy made a black walnut cake! Well, he showed us the mix and, we happen to be visiting him and, he made it all the time and, he said, it was his favorite cake! To me it almost put me in the mind of light weight cake with black walnuts, course he had no frosting on it! But, I remember those black walnuts coming through real good because, of it not being such a heavy cake! God Bless! P.S. I been waiting for this one, thanks for sharing!
I used to be so excited as a kid at Christmas because our nextdoor neighbor Mrs. Porter would bring us one of her special pound cakes. I never did get her recipe but decided I wanted to try to make one this year for our Christmas and bought some Black Walnuts. Tonight your recipe for one came up randomly on RUclips so guess I will be trying it. 😊I'm betting it is close to tasting the same as the one back in the late 50s early 60s.
Of all the wonderful treats Mom-mom made every year for Christmas, my favorite was her black walnut cake. She baked hers in a tube pan like you, but she iced her cake with vanilla American buttercream icing (butter, powdered sugar, a little milk and vanilla flavoring). Although I love English walnuts, I much prefer black walnuts in cookies, sugar or chocolate chip, cakes and even just to eat plain.
I love black walnuts. My mother liked them and used them for baking when we were growing up. I do not think any of my children like them. Or grandchildren. 🫤
I love black walnuts! I grew up in East Texas and we had trees...horrible to crack and shell, but worth the effort! My favorite is black walnut ice-cream! My mouth is watering!
We had a black walnut tree growing up. My mom made and sold the cakes. Hers was a layer cake with a special icing. We kids broke open the nuts on top of the well cap with a piec of a broken brick. Mom couldn’t afford the long lasting walnut stain and sell cakes to city ladies for their bridge parties as they would not see her hands a clean. All our church people would just say, you been cracking black walnuts!” They understood 😂♥️
Thank you for sharing this. I spent about a month last fall hulling and cracking walnuts and i have a bunch vacume sealed in the freezer for just a recipe like this.
I make a yummy black walnut cake....layers with a cream cheese frosting. I think I got the recipe from Southern Living magazine years ago. Have to take one to hubby's family reunion every year.....they would ask if I didn't. 🤣 This pound cake sounds really good and like something I'd like to try......and thanks for the cake flour tip. Did not know that!!!
Going to make this very soon. I have some black walnuts in the refrigerator. I love black walnuts and am always looking for a good recipe so thank you!
I love Black walnuts. Will make this cake.
Hope you enjoy!
Black walnuts make the BEST ice cream!
My grandma would make each of the grandkids their favorite cake for their birthday. Mine was her black walnut cake with her carmel icing. I loved it.

Growing up in Houston, Texas I never had black walnuts until I went to Missouri in my 20's. I love black walnut ice cream!
Black walnuts are great in that old-timey fudge made with Hershey's cocoa powder too. I like black walnuts a lot. Thank you for the recipe.😊

Never heard of black walnut flavoring, but I found it on Amazon, so it shows that even at 62, you can learn something new every day! Lol

That looks so tasty. I think I had that cake at an event one time but it had maple flavoring with English Walnuts.
I love black walnuts! When I was a girl there was a season where we could get black walnut ice cream. The one time of the year where I didn't have to have chocolate.
Apple Dapple cake is also an Applachian cake that many folks have never tried. Sooo good.

Hi Tipper an Granny have a day love from TEXAS
Thank you 😀
Brings back memories of my mama making a black walnut cake in her large cast iron skillet…daddy cracked lots of black walnuts & sold a lot too…mama usually kept a lot of bags of them in the freezer….I love them & would eat them but they would put blisters around my tongue….but I still ate them…lol…fresh pineapple does that to my tongue too…your cake looked really good 😊
What great memories Brenda 😀
Black walnut ice cream. Yum!
This looks so good.Love black walnuts,and love the stories behind the recipes.
When I was in Poteau Oklahoma way back when some old mountain witch made me a black walnut cake. I’m glad she didn’t poison me

Thank you Tipper looks very good I am not much for baking . But I will share this with my sister she love to bake . God bless you and your family
I love black walnuts. My mother liked them and used them for baking when we were growing up. I do not think any of my children like them. Or grandchildren. 🫤
I love black walnuts! I grew up in East Texas and we had trees...horrible to crack and shell, but worth the effort! My favorite is black walnut ice-cream! My mouth is watering!
I have tried black walnuts growing up and never liked them. Very unique flavor…
We had a black walnut tree growing up. My mom made and sold the cakes. Hers was a layer cake with a special icing. We kids broke open the nuts on top of the well cap with a piec of a broken brick.
Mom couldn’t afford the long lasting walnut stain and sell cakes to city ladies for their bridge parties as they would not see her hands a clean. All our church people would just say, you been cracking black walnuts!” They understood 😂♥️
Thank you for sharing this. I spent about a month last fall hulling and cracking walnuts and i have a bunch vacume sealed in the freezer for just a recipe like this.
I make a yummy black walnut cake....layers with a cream cheese frosting. I think I got the recipe from Southern Living magazine years ago. Have to take one to hubby's family reunion every year.....they would ask if I didn't. 🤣 This pound cake sounds really good and like something I'd like to try......and thanks for the cake flour tip. Did not know that!!!
Love the recipe..it sounds so good..I love a sour cream n walnut pound cake too..tfs.
Going to make this very soon. I have some black walnuts in the refrigerator. I love black walnuts and am always looking for a good recipe so thank you!
Thank you. Thank you thank you for sharing this. My Aunt made a walnut cake but not a pound cake and I love pound cake so much. Will try this
That sounds really good. One of my favorite I cream is home made black walnut
I love black walnuts but when you've got a big ole tree in your yard they make a huge mess Love y'all ❤️
