LAYER CAKE.

1/2 cup butter.
1 cup sugar.
2-1/2 cups flour.
3 eggs.
2/3 cup milk.
4 (l.) tsps. baking powder.

Beat the butter and sugar to a cream, then add the yolks of the eggs
gradually; then the flour and milk alternately (sifting the baking
powder with the flour), add the well-beaten whites last. Bake in 3
tins in a moderate oven about 15 minutes. (Flavoring has been omitted
in this recipe as the cake is more delicate by allowing the filling to
provide the flavor.)
