St. Valentine's Cake
is light as a cloud and white as a cloud thanks to creamy, snowy Crisco! Today, Crisco's moderate price invited you to put its lightness in all your pies and friend foods as well as your cakes!
Ingredients
- 2/3 cups Crisco
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 3 cups cake flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring
- 5 egg whites
Directions
- Measure Crisco and sugar, also 1/4 cup of the milk, into mixing bowl-then stir. What a joy!-everything whicks together with the help of cream-like Crisco! When light and fluffy, add sifted dry ingredients alternately with remaining 3/4 cup milk. Add flavorings and beat well. Fold in egg whites beaten just stiff enough to hold up in peaks. Pour into a "Criscoed" tube pan (9-inch). Bake in moderate oven (325 degrees F.) 1 hour 20 minutes.
- Cloud icing:
- Put 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1/3 cup water, 2 egg whites, 1/8 teaspoon salt in top of double boiler over boiling water. Beat constantly with Dover beater while mixture thickens. After 7 minutes, remove and add 1/2 twaspoon vanilla. Beat until of spreading consistency. Swirl onto cake-decorate with red candy hearts.
