Steps:
- Make the syrup: In a saucepan, add all syrup ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring well. Reduce heat and allow to boil gently for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Beat egg whites, salt, and water to the firm peak stage.
- Preheat oven to 340°F
- In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks, sugar, cinnamon, and ground cloves very well until creamy and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix the baking soda, baking powder, and flour, and stir in to the mixture.
- Add grated orange peel and juice, brandy, breadcrumbs, and walnuts.
- Finally, and carefully, fold in the beaten egg whites.
- Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking pan (or equivalent) with butter, pour in the batter, and bake at 340F for 40 minutes.
- Cake is done when a knife inserted into the middle comes out dry.
- Spoon the cooled syrup evenly over the hot cake. Sprinkle with walnuts mixed with a little cinnamon. Allow to cool before serving.
- Make sure the syrup is completely cooled before adding to cake. If necessary, refrigerate for a few minutes.
