Equipment

  • 1 cup Swansdown Flour (after sifting)
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Beat the eggs until light—not stiff; sift sugar 7 times, add to eggs, beating as little as possible.
  • Sift flour 9 times, using only the cupful, discarding the extra flour; then put in the flour the cream of tartar.
  • Add this to the eggs and sugar; now the vanilla.
  • Put in angel cake pan with feet. Put in oven with very little heat. Great care must be used in baking this cake to insure success.
  • Light the oven when you commence preparing material. After the first 10 minutes in oven, increase heat and continue to do so every five minutes until the last 4 or 5 minutes, when strong heat must be used.
  • At thirty minutes remove cake and invert pan allowing to stand thus until cold.
