Recipe - 1 2 3 4 Cake

2 Sticks butter
2 cup Sugar
4 Eggs; separated
3 cup Flour
2 teaspoon Baking powder
1 cup Milk (minus 1 tbsp)
One half teaspoon Lemon extract
One half teaspoon Vanilla

When a southern lady, and she is a lady, told me about this cake I
responded with utter ignorance. She could not believe that I had never
heard of such a thing. The recipe resembles a fine pound cake in terms of
both flavor and texture. Sliced thin, with a cup of black coffee, it makes
a wonderful southern afternoon snack.

Using an electric mixer, cream the butter, sugar, and egg yolks. Mix the
flour and baking powder together and sift into the creamed mixture, adding
alternately with the milk. Add the flavorings. Whip the egg whites to form
stiff peaks and gently fold into the batter. Bake in a loaf pan in a
preheated oven at 300ø for 1One fourth hours, or until a toothpick stuck into the
center of the cake comes out clean.
