Nellie’s Cup Cake.
5 cups of flour.
5 eggs, whites and yolks separated—the latter strained.
1 cup of butter, }
3 cups of sugar, } well creamed together.
1 cup of sweet milk.
1 teaspoonful soda, dissolved in hot water.
2 teaspoonfuls of cream tartar, sifted with flour.
1 teaspoonful of vanilla.
If prepared flour be used in this or any other cake, there is no need of soda and cream of tartar.
Hecker’s flour I have found invaluable in cake-making. Indeed, I have never achieved anything short of triumphant success when I have used it.
