- Put nuts into a large mixing bowl. Sift flour, bsking powder, and salt over a piece of waxed paper and set aside.
- In a measuring cup, combine milk with rum or brandy and set aside. Preheat oven to 275 F.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar at medium speed until mixture is smooth and very light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.
- Reduce speed to low; beat in flour mixture (in fourths), alternating with the milk mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Pour batter over nuts and mix well with a rubber spatula.
- Turn batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake 2 1/2 hours, or until test done. Remove cake from oven and place on wire rack to cool 30 minutes.
- Turn cake out of pan; discard paper and place cake on a wire rack to cool completely. Pour the sherry over the baked cake then cover it with cheesecloth. Store cake in a cool place for several days to mellow. To serve, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar
