Lady Lancaster Cake

List of Ingredients




Lady Lancaster Cake

1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
6 egg whites
1 cup milk
3 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
For filling:
3 cups granulated sugar
3 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon vanilla flavor
1/2 cup chopped raisins
1 cup chopped nuts
5 figs, cut in thin strips

Cream the butter and sugar, add the milk and flavoring, and then the sifted flour into which the baking powder has been sifted. Then fold in the egg whites. Bake in three layer pans in a hot oven.


The filling is made by dissolving the sugar in a cup of boiling water, and cook until it "threads." Then pour it gradually over the stiffly beaten egg whites and add the flavoring, nuts, raisins and figs. Some of the fruit may be reserved for the top of the cake.
