Delicate Cake (III)

Mrs. J. H. Mead.

The whites of twelve eggs, three-quarters of a pound of butter, three-quarters of a pound of sugar, one pound butter, three -quarters of a pound of sugar, one pound of flour, two tablespoonsful of milk, two tablespoonsful Cook's Friend.

Beat the eggs to a froth, beat butter and sugar to a cream; mix the baking powder well with the flour, and add milk. If half corn starch is used in place of flour it will be an improvement, and if for jelly cakes bake in square tins, and when cold cut into slices; they are delicious filled with lemon honey in place of jelly.
