Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sourdough starter
1 cup white sugar
0.66666698455811 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1.5 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
0.25 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
0.25 teaspoon baking soda

Method

Set your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare two 9-inch loaf pans by greasing them.
Combine the all-purpose flour, sourdough starter, white sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt in a mixing bowl. Fold in the chopped walnuts. Finally, mix in the baking soda and divide the batter between the pans.
Place the pans in the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a cake emerges clean, which will take 45 minutes to 1 hour.
