  or vinegar and milk to make 1 cup)

Cream sugar and eggs and oil. Add remaining ingredients and beat (3 min.) Stir in nuts. Pour half, of the batter into prepared pan.

It is important that there should be half of batter in pan before adding filling – otherwise the filling will sink and you won’t be able to turn cake out of the pan. Bake approximately 70 min. You can’t judge “doneness” by the straw method because of the filling – rather you have to judge by look and feel of the upper portion of the cake.
