Ingredients
The Dry Ingredients:
3 cups (400g) all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
zest of an orange
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup (160g) ground walnuts
The Wet Ingredients:
1 and 1/3 cup (330ml) light olive oil
Flax egg: 4 tablespoons ground flax seeds plus 1/2 cup (125 ml) water
1 and 1/3 cup orange juice
1 cup (220g) granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Garnish:
confectioner's sugar
Sweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 °F, 180 °C.
Make the "flax egg" by combining the flax seeds and water in a small bowl. Set aside.
Combine the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk together. Zest the orange prior to juicing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil, sugar, vanilla extract, flax egg, and whisk together.
Add the baking soda to the orange juice and mix. It will rise so, do this over the wet ingredients. Add to the bowl and whisk together.
Add the dry ingredients in a few batches and whisk until just combined.
If the batter is too thick, add a quarter cup of water.
Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with olive oil and transfer the batter to the prepared pan.
Bake on the center rack for about 35 minutes or until springy to the touch. A toothpick inserted in the center of the cake should come out clean.
Cool completely and dust with confectioner's sugar.
Serve with Greek coffee. Kali Orexi!
Notes
A can (425g) of pure pumpkin puree can be used as an egg substitute in place of the flax-egg.
Store the cake in an air-tight container or covered tightly in plastic wrap so taht it does not become dry.
