Recipe: BETTY CROCKER'S "SILVER WHITE CAKE"

Misc.

I tried to scan in the page and then transfer it to this site, but it was very difficult. I will give it a try another time, when my "genius" boyfriend is home to help me. For now however, you asked for it so here it is "verbatum" from the Betty Crocker Cookbook circa 1950. Enjoy!

DOUBLE-QUICK METHOD - Versatile and very, very good. CAKES - SIMPLE EGG WHITE
