Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 290, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 December 1912 — French Layer Cake. [ARTICLE]

French Layer Cake.

Take eight eggs, half a pound of sugar, half a pound of flour, a quarter pound of melted butter, a spoonful of vanilla extract. Beat the eggs with the sugar, heating near a mild fire until the mixture is a little warmer than blood heat. They may be heated. in a pan of warm water or on. the back of the range. When well warmed remove from heat, continuing to beat until they are quite cold. This makes the cake short and tender. Add the flour with a wooden spoon, then the butter. Put into a buttered mold and bake in moderate oven for 25 minutes. Cut into three layers with a sharp knife. Fill with mocha, chocolate. caramel, vanilla or any other cream.
