1/2 c Butter
4 Eggs; separated
2 c Flour; sifted
3/4 ts Salt
1 c Sugar
1 ts Vanilla
2 ts Baking powder
1/2 c Milk
1 c Black walnuts; fine chopped
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks all
at once. Add vanilla. Sift dry ingredients together. Set aside 1 cup
of the dry ingredients. Add the remaining flour mixture and the milk
in small portions, alternately, mixing well with each addition,
starting and ending with an addition of the dry ingredients. Mix
together, the reserved flour and the nuts, and stir into the batter,
mixing just until blended. Beat the egg whites until stiff, but not
dry. Fold them into the batter. Bake in a 9×5″ greased and floured
loaf pan, or 3 quart mold at 350~F about 50-60 minutes, or until
done. Frost with your favorite icing.
