Angel Walnut Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/4 c. egg whites (about 8 to 10 eggs)
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/3 tsp. cream of tartar
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 Tbsp. black walnut flavoring
1 c. cake flour
1 c. chopped walnuts

Preparation

Whip egg whites until foamy.
Add salt and cream of tartar and continue to whip until they hold a point but are not dry.
Add 1/2 cup of sugar slowly, then the extract.
Sift rest of sugar and flour together.
Fold in small amount at a time, mixing as little as possible.
Add walnuts.
Bake in ungreased tube pan for 1/2 hour at 275\u00b0, then 1/2 hour at 325\u00b0.
Invert pan and let hang until cold.
This is good without frosting.
I do sometimes use a caramel frosting.
