Mix juice of orange with egg. Add to one half of flour mixture, stir until completely mixed. Spread lightly into prepared pan. Use a teaspoon to drop small dollops of date filling onto batter in pan. If necessary, use a fork to lightly spread filling more evenly. Mix chopped walnuts into remaining half of flour mixture to create nut topping. Spread topping evenly across the date filling.
