2 tablespoons shortening

3/4 cup flour

1/2 cup sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 egg

1/4 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Cream the shortening and sugar, add the beaten egg yolk and the sifted dry ingredients alternately with the milk. Add vanilla. Fold in the stiffly beaten egg white. Spread one half of the mixture in a deep greased pie pan.

Filling

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 cup chopped walnuts

2 teaspoons cinnamon

2 tablespoons flour

2 tablespoons melted fat

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly and spread one half over the batter in the pan. Add the rest of the cake batter and spread the remainder of the filling over the top. Bake in a moderate oven(350-375 degrees F) 45-60 minutes.

Joan�s note: I use to bake this on Sunday mornings. The aroma is enough to pull anyone out of bed on a cold winter morning. The recipe is from The American Woman Cook Book dated 1943. My mother in-law gave this book to me in 1963 when I married.
