SUNSHINE CAKE image

This is an excellent tasting cake that I have made many times. It taste best with just a simple powdered sugar glaze drizzled over it! This is a very OLD recipe (1926)from The Wisconsin State Fair 'Blue Ribbon Cookbook'.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 c cake flour
1 c sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
9 egg whites
1 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 c sugar
5 egg yolks
1/4 c cold water
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp almond extract

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl sift together flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
  • 2. In a large bowl beat egg whites and cream of tartar until medium stiff. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  • 3. In a small bowl beat egg yolks, water and extracts for 1 minute. Add to sifted dry ingredients and beat 1 more minute on medium speed.
  • 4. Gently fold egg/flour mixture into beaten egg whites 1/4 at a time.
  • 5. Pour into a tube pan and bake 45-50 in a 350 degree oven. When cake springs back to a light touch of the finger it is done.
  • 6. Invert pan to cool. Let stand overnight before removing from pan.
  • 7. Frost with a buttercream frosting or I like a powdered sugar glaze drizzled over cake.
