A great deal of the fuss and labor some people go through every time a white cake is to be made is altogether needless: to prove it try this easy cake and be surprised: that it can be put together so quickly:

2 cups sugar - a pound.

1 cup melted butter - 1/2 pound.

10 whites of eggs.

1 cup milk.

2 teaspoons baking powder.

1 teaspoon cream tartar.

6 cups flour - 11/2 pounds.

Put the sugar and melted butter into the mixing pan along with the whites, not whipped, then take the wire egg beater and beat them together a minute or two; add the milk, powder, cream tartar and flour and some flavoring extract if you choose, and beat it up with a spoon thoroughly. The more it is beaten the whiter and finer the cake. If there is no cream tartar handy use the juice of a lemon. Makes nearly 4 pounds; costs 34 cents. Ought to be frosted the easy way, No. 3; or, with frosting that will slice without breaking, No. 635.
