I finally made the cake, and though it's not exactly as I remember it, my memory may have a glitch. This is now my recipe for the walnut tube cake. I had to give half of it away, it is very rich. Then I froze half of what I kept. The last quarter took me a week to eat, I'm alone.
Thanks again for your help!
