4 eggs, separated
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 c. chopped walnuts
1/2 c. chopped candied citron

Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Combine walnuts, fruits and chocolate. Coat with 1/2 cup of the flour mixture.

Beat egg yolks until light, then gradually beat in sugar. Stir in fruit mixture and blend well. Beat egg whites until stiff.
