Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 0.75 cup sugar, 0.5 cup cocoa, and 1.5 tsp baking powder. Add 0.5 cup chopped walnuts and 0.5 cup sliced kumquats, toss to coat.
Step 3
Add 1 cup water and 0.5 cup vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; batter will be lumpy.
Step 4
Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 25-30 minutes.
Step 5
Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
