    Recipe Introduction


    Nut Cake

    List of Ingredients




    Cake:
    8 egg yolks and 8 egg whites, separated
    3 cups sugar
    2 cups walnuts, coarsely ground
    1/4 teaspoon cloves, ground
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
    3 drops lemon juice
    4 tablespoons heavy, sweet, red wine
    1 cup raspberry preserves
    Butter or margarine for greasing 2 torte pans

    Glaze:
    1/2 fresh lemon
    2 cups confectioners' sugar
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    2 to 4 tablespoons warm water

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 425°F, then reduce to 350°F.

    Beat egg yolks until lemon-colored. Mix yolks with sugar.

    Beat egg whites until stiff. Fold in sugared yolks.

    Add cloves and cinnamon to nuts.

    Combine lemon juice with wine.

    Evenly sprinkle wine over nuts. Allow to settle for 3 minutes.

    Fold egg mixture into wined nuts.

    Pour into two well-greased torte pans, approximately 8" in diameter and 1-1/2" deep. Bake at 350°F for 3/4 of an hour. Remove from pans to rack and cool.

    Spread raspberry preserves on top of one torte and place the other on top to form the second layer.

    Prepare the simple lemon glaze by grating finely the lemon peel; squeeze lemon juice into water and stir with salt into sugar, making a thin white fluid.

    Pour over cake, allowing to run down over sides. Serve cool.
