3/4 c. flour
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
9 eggs, separated
1 1/2 c. granulated sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
2 c. walnuts, chopped

Sift flour with cinnamon and salt. Beat egg whites in large bowl until soft mounds form. Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar. Beat that mixture until stiff, straight peaks form. Don't underbeat. In another bowl, combine egg yolks and 3/4 cup sugar and the vanilla. Beat until thick and lemony. Stir in dry ingredients. Fold the egg yolk batter gently into the egg whites. Fold in the chopped walnuts. Turn into an ungreased 10 inch tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes. Invert to cool. Frost with chocolate - sour cream or creamy chocolate icing when cool.
