By norsegal8

Ingredients

• zwieback crumbs for coating pan
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 2 cups filberts, pulverized or ground
• 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1 cup half & half

Preparation

Step 1

Butter a 9-inch fancy tube-type pan or a square pan and dust with the zwieback crumbs. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat the eggs until frothy; slowly add the sugar and beat until light and lemon-colored, at high speed, about 5 minutes. Fold in the nuts. Sift the flour and baking powder over the mixture and fold in, using a rubber spatula. Blend in the melted butter and cream. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the cake tests done.
