Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (or toasted almonds)
4 eggs
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon flour

Steps:

Sieve flour salt and baking powder together.
In a separate bowl, mix chopped nuts and raisins. Coat them together with a tsp of flour to avoid them sinking to the bottom of the cake pan.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time; beat for 1-2 minutes on a slow speed mixer.
Stir in vanilla.
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternating with the orange juice.
Mix well.
Add nuts and raisins; mix with a wooden spoon.
Pour in greased dish and bake at 175°c for about 60 minutes.
Let cool well before serving
(My cake usually cooks even before one hour and at times takes longer to brown, however keep checking and don't overcook or else it would loose its moistness).
