Walnut cake

Dearest Readers: I'm afraid you must have found my walnut and coffee cake (Food, 26 July) very strange indeed — I made two mistakes. There should have been 6 oz of roughly chopped walnuts and 4 oz of icing sugar in the mixture. It all happened after a good Sunday lunch. Many apologies — all my own culpa. Lots of love, Jennifer Paterson
