I really like the fasting period because it is a challenge for me to find and cook special and of course tasty recipes.
This cake is another proof that it can be eaten tasty and fasting - aromatic, tasty and tender, I recommend it with great pleasure.
Go add the pieces of dark chocolate in it, or make it as a cake top and cover with vegan chocolate spread. I recommend not to grind the nuts, leave the small pieces to feel in the cake.
In a bowl pour the oil, water, sugar and vanilla, mix well with a whisk or spoon.
Add flour, cinnamon, baking powder and cocoa - mix well so that they are not lumpy.
Finally, add the ground walnuts and optionally the chocolate pieces.
You should get a thicker dough, like thick cream.
Pour it into a tray lined with baking paper and place in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 45 minutes.
In my case, it tended to brown a bit in the end, although the toothpick test had not passed.
So, the last 10-15 minutes I baked it with aluminum foil on top, not to dry too hard, but to be sure baked inside.
Take it out of the oven and let it cool in the pan for about an hour, covered with a towel.
I recommend cutting it after it cools completely, because it has no eggs in the composition, it is a little more crumbly.
Good appetite!
