In another bowl, seive flour, baking powder and baking soda together.

Add flour mixture and milk alternately to butter mixture and mix well.

Mix chopped nuts with small amount of flour separately and add it in the cake mixture. It would prevent nuts from sinking to the bottom. For better flavour and texture, roast the nuts before adding them to cake mixture.

Grease the cake tin and dust with flour. Remove excess flour.

Pour the mixture and bake it in preheated oven at 180 degree for 30 - 40 minutes.

For checking if the cake is baked, prick a toothpick in the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, cake is baked completely. Otherwise bake it for a few minutes again.
