My grandmother gave me this recipe as I'm such a black walnut fan. I've not had a chance to try it yet, but plan to before the holidays are out! You can ice it with whatever you like. There was no information on baking with her original recipe, so the baking time is estimated.
Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine
1 cup water
3 cups cake flour or 3 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 egg whites, well beaten
1 cup black walnut, cut however you like
Directions:
1. Beat sugar and butter till creamy.
2. Add water and flour, alternating between the two.
3. Add baking powder to a bit of flour and mix.
4. Add some flour to the nut meats, then add to mix.
5. Fold in egg whites last.
6. Pour into a 9x13 greased and floured baking pan.
7. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
