2 cups powdered sugar.

3 cups prepared flour.

1 cup rich, sweet cream. A little salt. 3 eggs whipped very light.

Vanilla and nutmeg flavoring.

Beat the eggs very light - the whites until they will stand alone, the yolks until they are thick and smooth. Put yolks and sugar together ; whip up well; add the cream, the flour, whites and flavoring, stirring briskly and lightly; fill your "snow-ball" pans or cups and bake at once, in a quick oven.

This cake may be made of sour cream, if a teaspoon-fiil of soda be added. In this case, the prepared flour must not be used.
