Southern Seed Cake

Cream, one cup sugar, and one-third cup butter; add yolks of two eggs, one-half cup sweet milk, two tea-spoons baking-powder sifted in two cups flour, one table-spoon caraway seed, one grated nutmeg and well-beaten whites. This has been tried and approved in our family for years. -Mrs. Ed. Shields, Ala.
