Swiss Nut Cake
Filling:
2-1/4 C sugar
1 C chopped walnuts
1 C cream (or half-and-half)
Filling: Place 1-1/2 C of sugar into a frying pan, and cook slowly until the sugar starts to "foam." Do not stir as the sugar will become lumpy. Add walnuts; mix well. Remove from heat before the sugar turns brown. Add the cream at once; allow mixture to boil down. Set aside and allow filling to cool.
1-1/2 C flour
1 C margarine
1 egg
Pinch of salt
Dough: In a bowl, mix together the flour, margarine, remaining sugar, the egg and pinch of salt. Mix well and form a dough. Cut the dough into three pieces (two the same size, and one slightly smaller). Roll same-sized to form a bottom and top of a formed cake pan (about 12" in diameter, or slightly less). Form a ring with the third piece of dough; place in bottom in the form cake pan, on top of the other dough bottom. Pour the filling evenly on the bottom of the cake pan; cover with the top dough crust.
Bake at 400-degrees F for about forty to forty-five minutes. Open the formed cake pan quickly after removing from the oven to prevent sticking. Cool slightly before serving.
