Steps:

  • Stir coffee into water until dissolved. Cool. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Sift together flour, salt and baking powder.

Do not underbeat. In large bowl, beat egg yolks until blended. Gradually beat in 1 1/2 cups sugar and vanilla. Now beat at high speed until thick and lemony colored. To this mixture, add flour mixture alternately with coffee. Fold in 1 cup nuts. Fold in stiff egg whites, 1/4 at a time, using no more than 15 strokes each time. Pour into ungreased 10-inch tube pan.
