Directions
Grease tube pan; preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Set two sticks of butter aside to soften. Separate eggs; beat whites till stiff and set aside.
Cut butter into sugar. Add egg yolks and beat a little.
Measure flour; use a small amount to mix with nuts until they are well-floured. Mix soda into flour. Stir flour into butter/sugar/egg mixture. Add sour cream and vanilla. Can do all this with an electric mixer, but now use a spoon to fold in egg whites.
Fold in nuts and bake approximately 1½ hours until done.
