* Step 5

Pour the batter into a cake tin, then bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes. You can cover the top with foil if it gets brown too quickly.

* Step 6

Allow the cake to cool. Then make the glaze by adding orange juice to the icing sugar. Stirring well to remove any lumps. Keep the icing thick enough to just pour out but not too thin that it runs right off the cake. Then garnish with the chopped reserved walnuts.
