For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar in the sauce. Toast the walnuts lightly before chopping for a more intense nutty flavor. To prevent the top from browning too quickly, tent the loaf pan with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking. Store leftover cake tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat gently before serving. The warm brown sugar sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated gently before serving.
