1 ts Baking powder
1 ts Ground cinnamon
1/4 ts Ground cloves
1/2 c Finely chopped walnuts

Greek Walnut Cake Preparation

In medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon and cloves. Stir in walnuts. Set aside. In large mixing bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar at high speed until foamy. Add 1/2 cup of the sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating constantly until sugar is dissolved and whites are glossy and stand in soft peaks. (Rub just a bit of meringue between thumb and forefinger to feel if sugar has dissolved.) In small mixing bowl, beat egg yolks at high speed until thick and lemon-colored, about 5 minutes. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup of the remaining sugar. Sprinkle flour mixture over whites. Add beaten yolk mixture. Gently, but thoroughly, fold yolk mixture into whites. Pour into greased and floured 10-inch springform pan. Gently spread batter evenly. Bake in preheated 350
