Directions

1

Mrs. C. E. Browne, Evanston. Two eggs, a trifle over half a cup of butter, one cup sweet milk, one and a half of sugar, and three teaspoons baking powder. Put together in the usual manner, and flavor with extract of almonds or lemon. Made with the whites of four eggs, it is admirable for cocoanut cake ; or with yolks for chocolate. Use your judgment in adding flour. This recipe I have had in use for fifteen years, and while inexpensive, it is nice enough for most any occasion.
