Recipe - Emilys White Cake

One half cup Crisco
1 One half cup Sugar
3 cup Flour
3 teaspoon Baking powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Water
1 teaspoon Flavoring
Whites of 3 eggs

Cream Crisco. Add sugar slowly and cream together. Sift dry ingredients and
add alternately with the liquid. Add flavoring, beat mixture thoroughly and
last fold in stiffly beaten whites of eggs. Prepare layercake tins by
greasing them with a mixture of Crisco and flour. Pour in cake mixture; put
in moderate oven, allow to rise for five minutes, increase heat to bake; at
the end of fifteen minutes, reduce heat to allow cake to shrink from pan.
Entire time for baking twenty minutes. NOTE: I copied this faithfully from
the source, THE WAYS OF COOKING" circa
1919 from Crisco.
