1¾ cups sugar
1¾ cups butter, softened
6 eggs
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
2 cups chopped walnuts or pecans
Glaze:
¾ cup confectioners’ sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 12-cup Bundt pan with butter and dust with flour.
2. Combine flour and cocoa powder and set aside. In a large bowl, cream sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually add confectioners’ sugar and mix thoroughly. Stir in flour mixture by hand until well blended. Gently stir in nuts. (Batter will be thick.) Spoon batter into prepared pan.
