1/2 t. all-spice or cardamom

1/2 t. ground nutmeg

1 1/2 t. baking powder

1/2 t. baking soda

1/4 t. salt

2 T. grated orange zest (be careful to only use the orange part and not the white part, or else the cake will be bitter)

3/4 c. freshly squeezed orange juice (yes, in this recipe it makes a difference if you don't squeeze it yourself)

1/4 c. dark molasses

1 large egg

1 T. canola oil

1/2 c. ground walnuts or almonds (really finely chopped is ok too)

3. In a separate, non-metal bowl combine orange zest, orange juice, molasses, egg, and oil.
4. Slowly mix flour mixture with the wet ingredients.
5. Stir in walnuts or almonds.
6. Pour into the greased bread pan and bake for about 1 hour, until a toothpick stabbed in the middle comes out clean.
