Bride's Cake

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup butter or margarine
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon soda
• 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice or vinegar
• 6 egg whites
• 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Cream butter, add gradually one and one-third cups flour sifted with soda, then add lemon juice. Beat egg whites until stiff and add powdered sugar gradually, while beating constantly. Combine mixtures, then fold in remaining flour. Bake in two round molds, one smaller than the other. Put together with frosting between and smaller cake on top. Press into cake a coin, ring, thimble and button. For ornamental frosting use Palm Beach Frosting (see page 196) before chocolate or fruit have been added to it. Put it on with a pastry-bag. Bake in the oven for 50 minutes at 325 degrees.
