    MISSISSIPPI NUT CAKE


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    ½ cup butter
    2 cups sugar
    ½ teaspoon vanilla
    4 egg yolks
    3 cups sifted cake flour
    3 teaspoons baking powder
    ¾ teaspoon salt
    1 cup water
    1 egg white, beaten

    Nut mixture:

    3 egg whites
    ¼ teaspoon salt
    ¼ cup water
    ½ cup sugar
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1 pound shelled pecans, ground

    Beat the egg whites with the salt until stiff (but not dry). Gradually, beat the combined sugar and baking powder into the egg whites. Gently, fold in the nuts. Then, prepare the cake batter: Cream the butter, sugar and vanilla. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Add the sifted, dry ingredients, alternately with the water. Mix well. Last, fold in the beaten egg white. Grease and line the bottom of a 10 inch tube pan. Pour half the cake batter into the pan. Spoon the nut mixture over the batter a little at a time. Cover with the remaining batter. Bake at 325° for 1 hour and 25 minutes.
