Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Roughly grind the walnuts in blender, they should remain lumpy.
- In a large mixing bowl mix the flour with the grated orange peel, baking powder, salt and walnuts.
- Add the orange juice, oil, egg and sugar. Mix gently but don’t over-stir! You should get a wet batter, which is not too thick – if necessary, add more orange juice.
- Grease and line the base of a cake tin. Pour the batter into it, let it spread out evenly then bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and an inserted skewer in middle comes out clean.
- Take the tin out of the oven and let the cake rest for 10 minutes in the tin, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
