Perhaps I should clarify the title --this a recipe for nut-cake, not a biographical entry. [I'm sure I'll be asked.....]  Here's a nifty little cake that tastes like a peanut butter cookie. Enjoy!

• Don't preheat the oven, but do grease a 12 cup bundt pan and set aside. you can dust it with flour if you like.  
• Cream two sitcks butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar. Be sure you use real butter not margarine.
• Chop in the blender [ on low or you'll have peanut butter] 2 1/2 cups mixed nuts. [about 1 small can].  Add 1/2 cup flour to the nuts and set aside.
• Alternately add 6 eggs and 2 1/2 c. self rising flour to the butter/sugar mixture. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla, then fold in nuts.
• Spoon batter into the pan, bake at 300 degrees for an hour and half. Cool  for an hour in the pand and unmold. YUM!
