  5. Grease and flour an 8x4-inch baking pan.
  6. Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  7. Add them to the cooled sugar mixture, beating until no drifts of flour are visible and the batter is smooth.
  8. Stir in the walnuts.

  12. Mix with confectioner's sugar, a drop of vanilla, and a pinch salt. Glaze the cake while hot.
