Ingredients
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 and a half cup of flour
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 Tbsp grated orange zest
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup light cane sugar
- ½ cup of freshly squeezed orange juice
Instructions
- 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.
- Let rest for 10 minutes in the tin then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve with icing sugar dusted on the top.
