Prepare Batter: In a mixing bowl, cream butter, miso, and sugar; mix on medium speed for 3 minutes; add eggs, beating for a minute after each one. Beat in the reserved liquid ingredients, mixing until smooth. Don’t be concerned as the mixture may curdle. Turn the mixer off, add the reserved dry ingredients; pulse mixer to begin blending; beat on low speed only until ingredients are incorporated. Scrape batter as needed.
Bake Loaf: Spoon batter into prepared baking pan evenly. Bake in preheated 350 F degree oven for 35 to 45 minutes. If browning too quickly, cover lightly with piece of foil. Test with toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The loaf will have deep brown crust on the edges
Cool Loaf: Remove from the oven; cool for 5 minutes; loosen sides of loaf. Unmold onto the rack, turn it right side up if removing from pan.
Add Topping: Stir the jam and water together; cook the mixture in the microwave or over low heat until boiling. Use a pastry brush to glaze the top of the loaf with half of the glaze. Stir the walnuts in the remaining jam; spoon over the center of the loaf. Allow loaf to cool before slicing.
