Turned into prepared pan & sprinkle top with remaining walnuts.
Bake at 350 degrees for 65-70 minutes. Cool; Drizzle with glaze. Let stand for at least 6 hours before slicing.

1/8 tsp nutmeg & 1/2 tsp cinnamon.

You can wrap in fancy colored cellophane or cellophane bag. Maybe yellow for harvest time or red or green for Christmas. Add a gift tag and you are ready to go. Great to serve for a brunch or at a fall tea party. Look for an amber to serve on for fall; or a pretty Christmas plate for the holiday season.
