Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just incorporated. Gently stir in the chopped walnuts and white chocolate chips.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Cool
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
