Lady Cake Recipe

MRS. GEORGE LAWRENCE.



One half cup butter, one and one half cups granulated sugar, one cup

lukewarm water, two and one half cups of sifted flour, four eggs, whites

only, one lemon juice and grated rind, two teaspoons of vanilla extract,

two teaspoons of baking powder. Cream the butter in an earthen dish with

silver spoon, stirring till light cream color, add sugar beating

thoroughly. Sift the flour, add one half of it and the cup of water a

little of each, till cup is finished. Beat whites of eggs stiff and dry,

add one half, beat, then the rest of the flour. Beat well, add the

juice, and grated rind of lemon or vanilla as preferred, next the baking

powder and the balance of the beaten eggs. Turn quickly into a deep,

well buttered tin, and bake for three quarters of an hour. The tin

should be ready for use immediately the baking powder is added. When

cold, frost with white icing.
