Directions:
- Grease a 22cm by 35 cm pan with butter or margarine. Do not line with baking paper or use non-stick sprays.
- Beat butter in a medium bowl until softened and add sugar beating until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl combine breadcrumbs, spices and baking powder.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition and then the liqueur.
- Add dry ingredients to butter mixture and beat until combined.
- Finally add the walnuts and beat until just combined.
- Tip into baking pan and smooth evenly over bottom.
- Bake on the bottom rack of the oven at 200c for 30-35 minutes depending on how hot your oven is.
- Test cake by inserting skewer and allow to cool until room temperature.
- While cake is cooling add ingredients for syrup into a small saucepan, except for vanilla essence.
- Boil for 5 minutes at medium heat. Then take off heat and add the vanilla essence if desired.
- Pour hot syrup over cooled cake. Start by ladling slowly from one end to another and gently tip remaining syrup over cake trying to be as even as possible.
- Allow cake to soak syrup for a few hours. It is best if it soaks overnight.
- Cut cake into diamonds to serve with a swirl of whipped sweetened cream (I add a bit of vanilla essence or liqueur to the cream) and flaked chocolate.
- Note: It is beat to start with all ingredients at room temperature to avoid butter curdling when eggs are added.
