Instructions

1.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/Gas Mark 4). Grease and flour a 2lb loaf tin.
2.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened Jersey butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy.
3.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
4.
Gently fold in the self-raising flour, being careful not to overmix. Gradually add the Jersey milk to loosen the batter if needed.
5.
Stir in the Jersey Black Butter and mashed Jersey Royal potatoes until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6.
Fold in the chopped walnuts.
7.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and spread evenly.
8.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
9.
Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10.
Slice and serve. Enjoy with a dollop of Jersey cream or a sprinkle of icing sugar (optional).

Chef's Tips

To prevent the cake from browning too quickly, cover it loosely with foil halfway through baking.

For a richer flavour, you can lightly toast the walnuts before adding them to the batter.

Store the cooled loaf cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

For an extra touch of Jersey flavour, consider adding a few finely diced, seasonal Jersey apples (such as Jersey Wonder) to the batter along with the walnuts.
