Directions
MRS. W. BURTON".
' Whites of eight eggs, three cups of sugar, one cup of butter, one cup of sweet milk, three full cups of flour, and two teaspoons of baking powder.
Icing. — One pint of sugar and the whites of three eggs beaten to a stiff froth; add sufficient water to the sugar to melt it, boil to a thick syrup, pour a little at a time boiling hot into the whites, stirring rapidly, and beat until smooth. Take a pound of rais- ins and a half pound of dates, stone the raisins, cut the dates into small pieces and mix together; spread one layer of the cake with icing rather thick, cover the icing with fruit, add a little more icing, then another layer of cake and ice the cake all over. This makes two large cakes.
