  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  10. Spread this batter over the mixture that was pressed into the bottom of the pan.
  11. With a rubber spatula smooth the top of the batter.
  12. Scatter the walnuts on top.
  13. Bake in a preheated 350 oven for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the sides of the cake have shrunk slightly away from the pan.
  14. Cool in the pan, on a rack, for 5 minutes.
  15. Then slide a knife around the edge of the cake to be sure it's not stuck.
