Beat eggs until foamy. Stir in next 4 ingredients (other liquids). Mix 1/2 tsp cinnamon and next 5 ingredients (dry ingredients, including flour). Gradually add to first mixture, beating with spoon until well mixed. Stir in 1 cup nuts. Spread in well-greased (or sprayed with cooking spray) 9" x 5" x 3" loaf pan. Mix remaining nuts and cinnamon and the brown sugar. Sprinkle evenly on top of batter and press lightly with hand. Bake in preheated 350 oven 1 hour, or until done. To keep the top from getting too brown, spread a piece of foil over the top during the last 1/2 hour of baking. Cool right-side-up on cooling rack. To store, wrap the bread in foil or a ziploc bag and keep it in the refrigerator. It will keep for about a week, or this bread can be frozen for a longer period. The original recipe also suggests decorating the top with candied red and green cherries. I have never done this. It can also be made into two small loaves. The baking time will be a little shorter for the small loaves.
