Cakes of All Kinds
Nellie’s Cup Cake. Maltese Cross

5 eggs, whites and yolks separated—the latter strained.
1 cup of butter, }
3 cups of sugar, } well creamed together.
1 cup of sweet milk.

If prepared flour be used in this or any other cake, there is no need of soda and cream of tartar.
Hecker’s flour I have found invaluable in cake-making. Indeed, I have never achieved anything short of triumphant success when I have used it.
