Cake: Dash

Angel Cake. 1 cupful whites of eggs, Dash salt, 1 cupful sugar, I teaspoonful almond extract, teaspoonful McIlhenny's Mexican Vanilla, 1 cupful flour, 1 teaspoonful cream of tartar.

Whip the whites of eggs on a large platter until they become a heap of dry froth. Then blend the sugar with them very carefully so the bubbles will not break. Sift the flour and cream of tartar three times and add to the egg mixture, stirring as little as possible, so as to keep it very frothy. Add the flavoring, pour into an unbuttered pan with a center tube, and bake forty minutes in a moderate oven. Do not move the cake until you are ready to take it from the oven, as it is very easy to make it fall.

Invert the pan on a cake cooler and brush the cake with the white of egg beaten with few tablespoonfuls a CAKE powdered sugar. Allow this covering to harden before you frost it.

Sunshine Cake.
