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 X 5 X 3″ greased and floured loaf pan, or 3 quart mold at 350
degrees about 50 to 60 minutes, or until done.
Frost with your favorite icing.
