 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/2   c            Butter
    4                    Eggs -- separated
    2       c            Flour -- sifted
      3/4   ts           Salt
    1       c            Sugar
    1       t            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 9x5
   greased and floured loaf pan, or 3 quart mold at 350~F
   about 50-60 minutes, or until done. Frost with your
   favorite icing.
