Preheat oven 350F.
Grease Rehrucken Moravian Loaf Pan/Ribbed Loaf Pan(from
BakeDeco) or you can also use traditional loaf pan.
Beat egg whites with pinch of salt until soft peaks are
formed, gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract
and beat until stiff and shiny peaks are formed.
Sift in flour and fold it into the egg whites.
Then fold in walnuts.
Spoon the batter into a prepared cake pan.
Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown on the top.
Once baked, wrap the cake still in the loaf pan in the
aluminum foil(this will help to soften walnuts a little and will
make it easier to cut bread into thin slices). Let rest wrapped
in the foil for 4 hours or overnight.
Unmold cake onto a work surface and using a sharp knife cut
the loaf into thin slices.
Spread the slices onto a baking sheet and baked at 300F, for
about 15-20 minutes, until dry.
Store in an airtight container.
These are absolutely fantastic plain, or with coffee and tea.
