Directions:Sift dry ingredients together into a mixing bowl.
Separate eggs; set whites aside. In a small bowl, combine yolks with pumpkin, salad oil and water. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients; add liquid all at once. Blend till smooth.
Beat whites with rotary beater till foamy; add cream of tartar. Beat 3 to 5 minutes till stiff. Fold into pumpkin batter.
Turn into ungreased 10 in. tube pan (angel food cake pan). Bake in a moderately slow pre-heated 325º F oven for 55 minutes. Raise temperature to 350º F and bake 15 minutes longer.
Remove cake from oven; invert pan onto cake rack at once. Let stand till cool (about 1 hour). Loosen sides and centre of cake with a spatula, turn onto cake rack. Frost with maple walnut frosting.
For frosting: in a large mixing bowl cream 1/2 cup butter. Gradually add 1/2 lb (1 3/4 cups) sifted icing sugar; cream till light and fluffy. Blend in 1/3 cup condensed milk (Mom uses half and half) then add another 1/2 lb sifted icing sugar till frosting is of spreading consistency. Stir in 1/2 tsp maple flavouring.
Spread on cake. While frosting is still moist cover with 1 1/2 cups finely chopped walnuts. |
