Recipe Introduction


This Depression era recipe lost for many years and was reconstructed from memory and trial and error. It was a tradition for birthdays and weddings. Use of the egg yolks was significant, after all how could you waste the egg yolks to make an angel food?



List of Ingredients




10 egg whites
8 egg yolks (The two extra were cooked for the canary.)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup cake flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar (1/2 goes in the egg whites when beaten, the
other goes into the flour mixture which is double sifted).
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 teaspoon grated orange rind


Recipe



Beat egg whites to a soft peak. If it is dry enough to stay in the bowl when tipped upside down, it's ready to mix.

Fold well beaten yolks gently into the whites. Fold in the sugar, cake flour, cream of tartar mixture, gently.
Turn into ungreased angel food cake pan.
Do not slam doors and send the kids outside!
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until it passes the clean broom straw test.
