Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• ¼ cup light tasting olive oil or  other vegetable oil
• 1 cups granulated sugar
• ¼ cup extra-strong coffee (or water)
• 2 teaspoons rum or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup broken walnut pieces (optional)
• 1 teaspoon powdered sugar for sprinkling on top of finished cake

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F
2. Prepare your Bundt pan by spraying with a vegetable spray
3. Into a small bowl, sift together the first four dry ingredients.

5. Spoon batter into prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.
6. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Notes/Hints:

• Make sure to check with a wooden toothpick to see if the cake if done. If there is any moist cake stuck to the toothpick, leave the cake in for about another 5 minutes. Use a new wooden toothpick to check again. It should come out clean. If not, add another 5 minutes.
