Pour the dough into a greased and floured loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes (check with a toothpick). If the cake darkens too quickly, cover it with foil promptly.

Whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice and, if needed, a little water into a thick glaze; brush over the cake. Roughly chop remaining walnuts and scatter on top of the glaze, letting them dry.
