Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees C.
- Grease a loaf or square cake tin well with some butter and line the base with baking paper.
- Cream the butter, sugar and grated rinds until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat in well.
- Fold through the sifted flour.
- Stir in the walnuts, followed by the orange juice and then the milk.
- Pour into the prepared tin and sprinkle with the 2 teaspoons sugar.
- Bake for about 50 minutes.
- Stand for a few minutes then cool on a wire rack.
- To make the frosting, cream the butter in a small mixing bowl until light.
- Beat in the icing sugar.
- Add the rind and juice then beat at high speed with electric mixer for a few minutes until frosting is stiff enough to shape easily but not too stiff to spread.
- If it's too thin add more sifted icing sugar.
- If too thick add some more juice or water.
- When the cake has cooled frost with the prepared frosting.
