Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 25cm springform tin with nonstick spray.
1. In a large bowl, sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and salt together. Mix in the sugar, followed by the chocolate and nuts. Make a well in the middle.
2. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and oil together, then add the fruit pulp.
3. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and mix lightly until just combined.
4. Spoon into the prepared springform tin and bake for about 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
