ENGLISH CAKE DESSERT 1963   

11-25-1963

From Billie Reid

1 cup confectioners' sugar
2/3 cup cornstarch
3 eggs, separated
1/8 t. cream of tartar
2 T. water 
1/2 t. vanilla

Sift 3 times:
 1/2 cup of the sugar with the cornstarch

Beat egg whites, cream of tartar and water to soft peaks in a large bowl.

Beat in the rest of the sugar a little at a time - beat mixture to stiff peaks.

Beat in yolks and vanilla just until well-blended.

Fold in sugar-cornstarch mixture a little at a time.

Bake in two 8" ungreased, unlined, layer pans in a 350 oven for 30 minutes, or until cake tests done.  

Put layers together with filling and topping of whipped cream and decorate with fresh fruit or drained, canned fruit (peaces, bananas or strawberries).
