For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of orange zest to the batter. If you prefer a different nut, pecans or almonds can be substituted for walnuts. To prevent the top from browning too quickly, tent the loaf with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking. This loaf is delicious served warm with a pat of butter or a dollop of whipped cream.
