   allspice, cloves and mace. Set aside.
   3. Cream margarine in large mixing bowl. Gradually add
   sugars; cream at high speed until light and fluffy.
   Add 2 eggs and 2 egg yolks, one at a time; beat well
   after each. Turn mixer to low speed and add dry
   ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin
   and end with dry ingredients. Blend well after each
   addition. 4. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 50-55
   minutes or until cake springs back when lightly
   touched in center. Prepare frosting and spread over
   cake. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, or until a
   delicate brown.

   Beat the 2 reserved egg whites and 1/4 teaspoon salt
   at high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1
   cup packed brown sugar, beating well after each
   addition. Fold in 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts.
