AN INEXPENSIVE "WHITE FRUIT CAKE"
- 3 cups sugar.
- 3 eggs.
- 1 lb. seeded raisins.
- 1 cup milk.
- 1 cup butter.
- 1 lb. currants.
- 1 lb. chopped almonds.
- Flavor with almond extract.
- 4 cups flour sifted with 2 teaspoonfuls of Royal baking powder.
- ½ lb. figs.
- ¼ lb. citron.
Beat to a cream sugar, butter and yolks of eggs. Then add milk and flour alternately and fruit and almonds. Lastly, add stiffly beaten whites of eggs. Flour fruit before adding. Chop figs.
