Brides Cake

Ingredients

• 2 cups of butter
• 4 cups of pulverized sugar
• 2 cups of sweet milk
• 2 scant cups of corn starch
• 4 heaping cups of flour
• whites of 12 eggs
• 1 tablespoon of lemon extract
• 3 heaping teaspoons of baking powder

Instructions

Cream the butter and sugar; add the well beaten whites; then the milk, the corn starch, and the flour in which baking powder has been sifted. This should be as stiff as pound cake. Bake in a moderate oven. It makes a very large cake, or two moderate-sized ones. Sometimes you will have to use more or less flour, according to the size of your eggs.
