Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 162, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 July 1915 — Leather Cake. [ARTICLE]

Leather Cake.

One cupful of sugar, one cupful of milk, two scant cupfuls of flour, one egg, dhe tablespoonful of butter, half teaspoonful soda, one of cream of tartar and flour to taste. Soften (but do not melt) the butter and beat in sugar, then beaten egg, then add milk, then flour sifted several times with saleratus and cream of tartar. This makes a splendid fine-grained loaf cake and is not at all like a cheap cake.
