1 cup chopped walnuts

1 cup powdered sugar

1/2 tsp. maple flavoring

6-12 walnut halves

Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool on rack for 15 minutes then turn cake out onto rack and cool completely.

Drop spoonfuls of glaze evenly around the top of the cake. Set aside to allow glaze to drip down the sides of the cake. When glaze has set, garnish with walnut halves.
