Cooking Directions
In a bowl, toss walnuts with ¼ cup flour; set aside. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla; mix well.
Combine the baking powder, salt and remaining flour; add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk.
Stir in the reserved nut mixture.
Transfer to a greased and floured 10-in. tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 50-55 min. or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool for 10 min. before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, egg whites, water and cream of tartar.
With a portable mixer, beat on low speed for 1 min.
Continue beating on low speed over low heat until frosting reaches 160 degrees F, about 9 min.
Pour into a large mixing bowl; add vanilla.
Beat on high speed until frosting forms stiff peaks, about 7 min.
Frost the cake.
