Pompton Cake. Maltese Cross
2 cups powdered sugar.
3 cups prepared flour.
1 cup rich, sweet cream.
A little salt.
3 eggs whipped very light.
Vanilla and nutmeg flavoring.
Beat the eggs very light—the whites until they will stand alone, the yolks until they are thick and smooth. Put yolks and sugar together; whip up well; add the cream, the flour, whites and flavoring, stirring briskly and lightly; fill your “snow-ball” pans or cups and bake at once, in a quick oven.
This cake may be made of sour cream, if a teaspoonful of soda be added. In this case, the prepared flour must not be used.
