A very old recipe, ( 1900's ) unusal but post here for those who enjoy these kind of recipes. I never tried this one and it is intriquing to me in it's preparation. No baking times or temps were given- I just added them in Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter |
1 1/4 cups sugar |
1/2 cup cold water |
8 egg whites, slightly beaten |
1 tsp vanilla |
2 1/2 cups pastry flour |
2 tsp baking powder |
Directions:
1. Cream three-quarters cup of butter and one and one-quarter cups of sugar very well.
2. Stop stirring, pour one-half cup of cold water on top of butter mixture and whites of eight eggs slightly beaten on top of water; do not stir, add one teaspoon of vanilla.
3. Sift two and one-half cups of pastry flour, measure, then mix with two heaping teaspoons of baking-powder, and sift three times.
4. Add to cake mixture and then beat hard until very smooth.
5. Turn into ungreased angel cake pan, place in slow oven. -300F
6. Let cake rise to top of pan, then increase heat ( 350F ) and bake until firm.
7. Invert pan, when cool cut out.
