How to make chocolate walnut cake?
Start by preheating the oven to 350°F or 180°C and line a cake tin with baking paper and spray or brush with oil.
Next in a small bowl mix all the wet ingredients. In a large bowl sift in the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the sugar and mix. Now add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and with a spatula fold in until it is just combined. Do not over mix the batter or it will turn out dry and tough. Stir very gently and just until the flour is incorporated.
Add the chopped walnut and chocolate chips. Pour the batter in the baking tin and bake for 40-45 minutes. Check by inserting a toothpick, if it comes out clean take it out of the oven. If not bake for another 5-8 minutes. Let it cool completely and serve it with coffee or tea or milk.
