WW2 WAR CAKE
An eggless, almost fatless, milkless cake, very aptly named - it was popular during wartime shortages. It is dense and delicious uniced. For those who yearn for a good cake, but must resist fat, this will do it.

- Grease and flour an 8x4-inch baking pan.
- Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Add them to the cooled sugar mixture, beating until no drifts of flour are visible and the batter is smooth.
- Stir in the walnuts.
- Spread evenly in the baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a broomstraw inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn onto a rack to cool completely.
