Velvet Cake
This is a large cake, baked in a roasting-pan; it is very light and
delicious, and none too large for two luncheons, or for a picnic.
6 eggs.
2 cups of sugar.
1 cup of boiling water.
2 1/2 cups of flour.
3 teaspoonfuls of baking-powder.
Put the yolks of the eggs in a deep bowl and beat two minutes; then put in
the sugar, and beat ten minutes, or fifteen, if you want it perfect.
Put in the water, a little at a time, and next the stiffly beaten whites of
the eggs. Mix the baking-powder and flour, put these in next, and add the
flavoring last.
This is a queer way to mix the cake, but it is right.
