Directions
Step 1:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla. Combine the flour, cream of tartar and cocoa; stir into the egg mixture until well blended. Fold in walnuts. Spread half of this mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
