The Method

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.
