- 1 cup butter
- 1½ cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 5 eggs
- ⅓ cup milk
- 2½ cups pastry flour
- 2 teaspoons Dr. Price’s Baking Powder
Cream butter thoroughly; beat in sugar, a little at a time. Add flavoring and yolks of eggs beaten until pale yellow. Add milk, beating in a little at a time. Beat egg whites until light. Sift flour with baking powder three times. Add alternately small portions of egg whites and flour and stir mixture until light and fluffy. Bake in greased loaf pan in moderate oven (350°) about one hour. Cover with following ornamental frosting:
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup water
- 2 egg whites
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon flavoring extract, half lemon, half vanilla
Boil sugar and water, without stirring until syrup spins a thread (238°); add slowly to beaten egg whites; add salt and flavoring; beat until smooth and stiff enough to spread. Put over boiling water, stirring continually until icing grates slightly on bowl. Spread on top and sides of cake.
All measurements are level
So saying, Hun gave her a can
Of bright and sunny yellow.
