Walnut Cake

This is the second thing that I have baked. Wanted to make a cake, so still have some walnuts at home, so just might as well make use of it. It was taken off from Aunty Yochana blog. The name was Rich Walnut Cake but I don't really find it that rich. So I just named it Walnut Cake lor, hee. It very light, soft and nice. I think I overbaked it a little, so it is a little dry.
