    List of Ingredients





    1 1/2 C. granulated sugar
    1 C. butter
    1 tsp. vanilla extract
    2 3/4 C. sifted cake flour
    1 tsp. baking powder
    1 1/3 C. milk
    1 C. almonds, finely chopped
    6 egg whites, stiffly beaten

    Recipe



    Cream together sugar, butter, and vanilla extract.

    Stir together the cake flour and baking powder; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Stir in almonds. Gently fold in the egg whites. Pour into two greased and lightly floured 9 x 1 1/2-inch round baking pans. Bake at 375 degrees F for 28 to 30 minutes. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans. Fill and frost with White Frosting.

    White Frosting: In a saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, 1/3 cup water, 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar and dash salt. Bring mixture to boiling, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

    In mixing bowl place 2 egg whites; very slowly pour the hot sugar syrup over, beating constantly with electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 7 minutes. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
