Cream the butter, add the sugar gradually, beating con- tinuously, then the milk and flavoring; next the flour, into which the baking powder has been sifted, and lastly the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs, which should be folded lightly into the dough. Bake in three layer pans in an oven that is hotter than it would have to be for loaf cake.
FILLING. Dissolve three cupfuls granulated sugar in one cup- ful boiling water; cook it until it will thread, then pour it over the stiffly beaten whites of three eggs, stirring constantly. To this icing add one cupful of chopped raisins, one cupful chopped nut meats (pecans preferred) and five figs cut in very thin strips. With this ice both the top and sides of the cake and between the lavers. Emma C. Baker.
