   2                    Eggs
   1      cup           Sugar
   1      cup           Flour
     1/8  tsp           Salt
   1      tsp           Baking powder
   1      tablespoon    Butter
     1/2  cup           Hot milk
                        -----BAKED-ON FROSTING-----
   1                    Egg white
     1/4  tsp           Baking powder
     1/2  cup           Brown sugar
     1/4  cup           Chopped nuts

 Preheat oven to 350~. Sift dry ingredients. Melt butter in hot milk.
 Beat eggs until light and thick. Slowly add sugar; beat with a spoon
 5 minutes, or with electric mixer for 2 1/2 minutes.

 Working quickly, fold sifted dry ingredients into egg-and-sugar mixture all at once. 
Then, all at once, add hot milk in which butter has been melted. 
The folding in of the dry ingredients and milk should take only 1 minute. 
Bake in greased and flour-dusted 8-inch square pan for 30 minutes. 
Remove from oven, leaving oven on.

 Beat egg white with 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
 Gradually beat in brown sugar; spread over hot cake. 
Sprinkle with chopped nuts. Bake in oven until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
