Grandmother's Little Feather Cake

Grandmother's Little Feather Cake

Ingredients:
1 cup of sugar.
2 tablespoonfuls soft butter.
1 egg.
1/2 cup milk and water mixed.
1 1/2 cups sifted flour.
1 teaspoonful baking−powder.

Directions:
Rub the butter and sugar to a cream. Beat the yolk of the egg stiff and put that in; then add part of the milk and
water, and part of the flour and baking−powder, which has been sifted together; next the vanilla, and last the
stiff whites of the eggs, not stirred in, but just lightly folded in. If you put them in heavily and roughly, cake
will always be heavy. Bake this in a buttered biscuit−tin, and cut in squares when cold. It is nice covered with
caramel or chocolate frosting.
Domino Cake
Make this feather cake and pour it into two pans, so that the bottom shall be just covered, and bake it quickly.
When it is done, take it out of the pans and frost it, and while the frosting is still a little soft, mark it off into
dominoes. When it is entirely cold, cut these out, and with a clean paint−brush paint little round spots on them
with a little melted chocolate,
to exactly represent the real dominoes. It is fun to play a game with these at a tea−party and eat them up
afterwards.
Margaret's Own Cake
Margaret's mother named this cake for her, because she liked it so much to make it and to eat it. It is a very
nice cake for little girls.
