Made this a few times in last few weeks!
I ended up adding the eggs (slightly beaten) after I added the wet ingredients.
For the glaze: I used confectioners sugar instead of granulated and made sure to keep stirring over low heat and kept stirring while it cooled. The glaze came out much smoother! Delicious!

I made this cake for St Pat's Day and my friends say that this is the best cake I have ever made and I make at least a cake a week! I followed the directions as is but added raisins instead of walnuts.. very easy and very delicious!
