150g unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
1 cup sugar
4 large eggs
8 heaped tablespoons flour
1 cup walnuts, lightly toasted and finely chopped
2 level teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk, warmed
zest of one orange
juice of two oranges
1/2 cup honey
1 cup sugar
4 large eggs
8 heaped tablespoons flour
1 cup walnuts, lightly toasted and finely chopped
2 level teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk, warmed
zest of one orange
juice of two oranges
1/2 cup honey
1) Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius. Grease the tin (mine measures 20x28cm) and line the base with baking paper. Place butter and sugar in mixer bowl, beat until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Combine flour, nuts, baking powder and salt in another bowl. Stir flour and milk alternately into batter, then stir in orange zest.
2) Pour batter into prepared tin. Bake until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool in pan 10 minutes. Otiginal recipes calls for inverting cake onto a wire rack before soaking it, but I left mine in the tin. Stir orange juice and honey together until smooth, then pour over warm cake.
3. Allow cake to sit while orange honey mixture soaks in.
