Some of you wanted my Black Walnut Layer Cake Recipe so...Here you are. Actually my mother always made the Black Walnut Layer Cake. I will warn you it takes 2 cups of Black Walnuts instead of one. However, you get twice the aroma and it is VERY PRETTY !!!
Directions
CAKE: Pre heat oven to 375 degree F. Cream butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs one at a time beating after each addition. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together and stir into creamed mixture,alternating with milk. Add vanilla and beat to combine. Fold in Walnuts just to incorporate.Pour mixture into 3 greased and floured 9 inch round cake pans. Bake until done, about 25 minutes. Test with tooth pick to be sure.FROSTING: Combine sugar and milk in a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil. Turn down to low boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla. Cool. After cooled, beat until thickened. Follow instructions below on how to apply frosting.TIP: Turn 1 st layer of cake on to cake plate top side down, sprinkle with walnuts and thickly drizzle with frosting. Place second layer on top of first layer top side down. Sprinkle with walnuts and drizzle with frosting. Place third layer on top of second layer top side up. Frost top and sides of cake, covering top first and drizzle as heavily as possible down sides. Sprinkle remaining walnuts on top.

Hi
I'm new around here and i have a question for Sandy and Jewel!
Did sandy make it in a bunt cake?
Jewel, is this the 1940's recipe?
i have somewhat of a delemma. My grandmother made this Black Walnut Cake with this wonderful, WONDERFUL, W O N D E R F U L! fluffy frosting all over it and she sprinkled walnut shars all over it at christmas for the family and different partys we'd attend.
My grandmother never got a chance to give me the recipe and after she went to the home and and passed in August, I am looking through her recipes and books and CAN NOT find it.
I asked my mother and she ssaid that grammy made that when she was a kid and she prolly made it out of her head because she made it so much.
I combed the internet and still! can not find one that seems like it or close. But it was a layer cake.
Amazing how we miss the small things when they are gone!
If this isn't the recipe would you know where i can look...it might be older then the 1940's BUT my mom was born in 49 so it is at least from back then.....
any help would be greatful!

Hi Stacy, so sorry about your grand mother. It is sad the amount of love and information gets lost with the passing of our older generation. I lost both my parents 4 months apart in 2003. My daddy was almost 91, a man with so much wisdom, I sure miss him too.
About the cake, sweetheart I don't know dear if it's the recipe you're looking for. There are some websites for real old recipes I have stumbled upon them before. I will look too and if I see something that looks like what you are looking for I'll send you a note. Welcome to JAP...Good to chat with you.
