Ingredients
- one teaspoon vanilla slowly
- a pinch of salt
- twelve eggs
- one-half tumblers granulated sugar gradually
- one tumbler flour which has been sifted five times
- one scant teaspoon cream tartar
- salt
Directions
Beat stiff the cold whites of twelve eggs with a pinch of salt, fold in — not beat — one and one-half tumblers granulated sugar gradually, one teaspoon vanilla slowly, then one tumbler flour which has been sifted five times with one scant teaspoon cream tartar. Put in- a tube pan — not greased, and bake about forty minutes, in a moderate oven without opening the door. When taken from the oven, turn upside down to cool. After it drops from pan, frost with any plain icing. Have house and kitchen very quiet when baking, avoiding any draft, or the cake will fall. — Contributed, Williams, Ariz.
