Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 118, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 May 1913 — Washington Pie. [ARTICLE]

Washington Pie.

One-quarter cup butter, one cup sugar, two eggs, one-half cup milk, one and one-half cups sifted flour, one rounding teaspoon of baking powder. The way in which this is put together is a little unusual, but if you can follow the directions I think you will be pleased with the result. Cream the butter and sugar by hand, add the eggs one at a time and slap them in by hand. Then use a spoon and add milk and most of the flour and beat well. Add the baking powder sifted with a little of the flour, and do not beat much after adding it. This makes a fine-grained, light cake.
