- 1/4 cup canola oil vegetable oil, or coconut oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar

- Gently stir in dry ingredients and buttermilk until a uniform batter has formed. Scrape sides to ensure no lumps are present. Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts. Pour into a prepared pan and top with the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped nuts.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes in the lower half of the oven or until completely baked. Remove from the oven and cool for at least 15 minutes before removing from the pan. Slice and serve.
