¼ cup ground flaxseed 

½ cup water 

3 cups all-purpose flour 

2 Tbsp. baking powder

Zest of 1 orange 

2 tsp. ground cinnamon 

1 cup ground walnuts
1 ⅓ cup olive oil
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
½ tsp. baking soda
1 ⅓ cup orange juice

Method of Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9”x13” baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Make the flax egg by combining the flax seeds and water in a small bowl. Set aside.
   
3. Combine the flour, baking powder, orange zest, cinnamon and walnuts in a medium mixing bowl and whisk together. Be sure to zest the orange prior to juicing.
   
4. In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the oil, sugar, vanilla extract, flax egg, and whisk together.
   
5. Add the baking soda to the orange juice and mix; add to the wet ingredients and whisk.
   
6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in a few batches and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix. If the batter is too thick, add ¼ cup of water.
   
7. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish.
   
8. Bake on the center rack for about 35 minutes or until springy to the touch. A toothpick inserted into the cake should come out clean.
   
9. Cool completely and dust with powdered sugar and/or shredded coconut if desired.
