INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups (300g) Farina "00" flour
  • 2 teaspoons (16g) baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon (3g) ground cinnamon
  • 2 sachets (2x5g) vanilla powder
  • ½ cup (60g) coarsely chopped walnuts
  • 2/3 cup (170ml) vegetable oil (e.g., sunflower oil)
  • 1 cup (230g) sugar
  • 1 can (330ml) sparkling orangeade (soft drink)
  • Icing sugar for dusting

METHOD

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan-assisted). Grease a 22 cm round baking pan well. Line the base with non-stick parchment paper and dust the sides with flour. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla powder, and walnuts.
  2. In another bowl or a stand mixer, combine the oil and sugar and beat well. Add the sparkling orangeade and continue beating until the ingredients are well combined.
  3. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and beat until you achieve a fluffy mixture. Pour it into the pan and bake in the preheated oven at 180°C for 45 minutes. To check if it's baked, insert a wooden skewer or the blade of a knife into the cake; if it comes out clean, it's ready. Let it cool, then dust with icing sugar.
