This moist all-in-one [[Cake|cake]] is flavoured with [[Chocolate|chocolate]], [[Orange|orange]] and [[Walnuts|walnuts]] and takes its name from the fact that it is my husband's recipe. Wig is my daughter's nickname for him.

{{RecipeIngredients
| 175g [[Plain flour|plain flour]], sieved with
| 2 teaspoons [[Baking powder|baking powder]]
| 3 large [[Eggs|eggs]], beaten
| 175g soft [[Butter|butter]]
| 175g [[Caster sugar|caster sugar]]
| The [[Grated|grated]] rind of 1 [[Orange|orange]]
| ½ teaspoon [[Vanilla extract|vanilla extract]]
| 70g [[Walnuts|walnuts]], slightly bashed in a plastic bag
| 50g Green and Black's Organic Dark [[Chocolate]] with Madagascan [[Vanilla]] (85% [[Cocoa|cocoa]]), coarsely bashed in a plastic bag
| 10g [[Icing sugar]], for dusting

}}

===[[Mise en place]]===
* Preheat the [[Oven|oven]] to 170° C (325° F - gas 3), [fan oven 140° C & reduce cooking time by 10 mins per hour].
* Place the [[Chocolate|chocolate]] in the [[Fridge|fridge]] whilst you are preparing the other ingredients.
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Place all of the ingredients (except for the [[Walnuts|walnuts]] and [[Chocolate|chocolate]]) into a mixing bowl.
| Mix thoroughly using a [[Hand|hand]] or stand [[Mixer|mixer]] - if using a Kenwood Chef / Major, use the Flexi-Beater.
| When the mixture is of an even consistency, add the [[Walnuts|walnuts]] and mix using the slowest setting.
| Grease and line a 20cm (8 inch) loose bottomed deepish [[Cake|cake]] tin. There is no need to line if you are using a Silverwood tin.
| When the [[Oven|oven]] has reached the required temperature, gently mix in the [[Chocolate|chocolate]] using the slowest setting.
| Pour the mixture into the tin, smooth it out and [[Bake|bake]] so that the top of the tin is about halfway down the [[Oven|oven]] for about 50-60 minutes.
| Remove from the [[Oven|oven]] and allow to cool in the tin.
| To touch, it may not seem cooked, but it is and if you over cook it, you will loose too much moisture.
| Dust with [[Icing sugar|icing sugar]].
}}
===Variations===
Use [[Hazelnuts|hazelnuts]] instead of [[Walnuts|walnuts]]
