Walnut Cake

My photo didn't do justice to this cake! This cake is very soft and fluffy, really like the texture.

Ingredients

225g plain flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

115g butter

200g granulated sugar (I reduced to 150g)

2 eggs

1tsp grated orange rind (I omitted this)

1 tsp vanilla essence

115g walnuts

175ml milk

Method

1. Preheat oven to 175C and grease a 8" round cake tin.
2. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt.
3. Beat butter to soften, then gradually beat in the sugar till light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, add orange rind and vanilla and beat to mix well.
4. Stir in ground walnuts. Add the flour alternately with milk and stir to blend after each addition.
5. Pour mixture into prepared tin and bake till a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean, about 40min.
6. Cool and serve.
