Apple Black Walnut Cake

Directions

Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃).

Mix sugar and oil. Add eggs, beat until fluffy. Sift dry ingredients together and add to sugar, oil, and egg mixture. Blend in vanilla. Fold in black walnuts and chopped apples. Pour into a well greased and floured loaf pan.

Bake for 40 minutes or until a wooden stick inserted centre comes out almost clean. Let cake cool in pan on wire rack for about 30 minutes. Remove cake from pan onto wire rack and cool completely.

To make icing:

Soften butter and blend with powdered sugar. Add vanilla. Add a little cream or milk to blend to a spreadable consistency. Spread or drizzle on cooled cake. Let icing set completely, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Slice and serve.

The leftover can be kept in a zip-lock bag or air-tight container in fridge for 1 week or frozen for up to 1 month.
