Reduce speed to low and add oil in a slow stream till well mixed. Add in © to mix until well combined. Fold in flour mixture (D) and toasted walnuts gently till well incorporated.Pour batter into prepared loaf pan/cake pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top. Bake in preheated oven until golden and a skewer inserted comes out clean, about 55 minutes in loaf pan or 30 minutes in cake pan. Remove cake from pan and cool on wire rack completely before slicing.
