Nut Feather Cake
Scandia Barn

Cake
2 eggs
1⅓ cup sugar
½ tsp. almond extract
½ tsp. salt
1½ cups flour, sifted
2 tsp. baking powder
¾ cup filberts (hazelnuts) ground
½ cup cream or evaporated milk
⅔ cup butter melted

Beat eggs a few minutes. Add sugar and almond extract gradually. Beat at high speed until thick and creamy. Sift flour, salt and baking powder together. Add ground nuts and mix. Heat cream until lukewarm (room temperature). Stir flour mixture and cream alternately into egg batter. Pour melted butter slowly into batter and mix well. Bake at 325o for about 45 - 50 mintues.

Note: Because no indication of pan size was given I ended up using a 9-inch square pan, which should be greased. I also have doubled the recipe and used a 9 x 13-inch pan.

Creamy Frosting:
½ cup soft butter
1 egg
¼ tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
¼ cup cocoa
⅔ cup confectioner's sugar
¼ cup milk

Cream butter, add egg, salt and vanilla. Whip. Combine sugar and cocoa, add gradually to mixture alternately with milk. Whip smooth. Add sugar to desired consistency.
