The White Part

One cup of white sugar, half a cup of butter, half a cup of sweet milk, one cup and a half of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, the whites of three eggs, beaten to a stiff froth, and added last, one teaspoonful of lemon extract; bake the white part in two layers, and the dark in one; put the layers together with currant jelly, having the dark one in the center; this makes one large loaf; frost with boiled frosting.
