American White Cake

Beat half a cupful of butter to a cream: work in gradually two and a half cupfuls of flour, a cupful of milk, the whites of six eggs, and, last of all, a tea-spoonful of cream of tarter, and half a tea-spoonful of carbonate of soda. Pour the mixture into a buttered tin, and bake in a quick oven. Directly it is taken out of the oven, brush whisked white of egg over the top, and sift loaf sugar on it. Time to bake, about an hour. Probable cost, 1s. 6d. Sufficient for a quart mould.
