No. 122 Delicate Cake
One and one-half cupfuls of butter, 1½ cupfuls of sugar, whites of five eggs, 2½ pints of flour, 1½ teaspoonfuls of baking powder, 1 cupful of milk, 1 teaspoonful of extract of peach. Rub the butter and sugar to a light cream; add the egg whites, 1 at a time, beating a few minutes between each; add the flour, sifted, with the powder, then the extract and milk; mix into a rather thin batter; pour into a paper-lined tin, and bake in a rather hot but steady oven 50 minutes.
