| 1. Grease a 22cm by 35 cm pan with butter or margarine. Do not line with baking paper or use non-stick sprays. | 2. Beat butter in a medium bowl until softened and add sugar beating until light and fluffy. | 3. In a separate bowl combine breadcrumbs, spices and baking powder. | 4. Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition and then the liqueur. | 5. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture and beat until combined. | 6. Finally add the walnuts and beat until just combined. | 7. Tip into baking pan and smooth evenly over bottom. | 8. Bake on the bottom rack of the oven at 200c for 30-35 minutes depending on how hot your oven is. | 9. Test cake by inserting skewer and allow to cool until room temperature. | 10. While cake is cooling add ingredients for syrup into a small saucepan, except for vanilla essence. | 11. Boil for 5 minutes at medium heat. Then take off heat and add the vanilla essence if desired. | 12. 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. | 13. Allow cake to soak syrup for a few hours. It is best if it soaks overnight. | 14. 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. | 15. Note: It is beat to start with all ingredients at room temperature to avoid butter curdling when eggs are added. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
