Marsh Mallow Cake

Beat to a cream a half cupful of butter and two cupfuls of sugar. Sift one heaped teaspoonful of baking powder with three and a half cupfuls of pastry flour three times. Add half a cupful of cold milk to the butter and sugar, slowly and carefully, so that the mixture does not curdle. Add the flour and baking powder. Beat well and then fold in the whites of six eggs beaten to a stiff froth. Bake the cake in three layers. Spread the layers with marsh mallow paste, and ice one thickly with white icing, decorating it with squares of marsh mallow candy. Pin strips of paper carefully around the layers, spread with the paste and let them stand several hours. Then put them together and lay the iced cake over all. Remove the strips of paper when there is no danger of the paste running.
