GRAND DUKE CAKE
Cream together ⅔ cup butter and 2 cups sugar. Add 1 cup milk alternately with 3½ cups Gold Medal Flour sifted with 2 teaspoonfuls baking powder, ¼ teaspoonful almond, ¾ teaspoonful vanilla, and beat well. Fold in stiffly beaten whites of 6 eggs. Bake in three square layer-cake tins. Put layers together with raisin frosting. Boil 3 cups sugar with 1 cup water until syrup will spin thread. Pour onto whites of 3 eggs beaten very stiff. Beat until cool, and add 1¼ cups seeded raisins cut fine, ¾ cup chopped nuts and ½ cup chopped candied apricots, plums, pineapple or cherries.
