This recipe is for Mrs. E. B.,
washington, who wanted a cake
recipe using sour cream. I clipped
the following recipe out of a Phila-
delphia paper several years ago and
used it for the first time Just last
week. Although it was featured as
"A Summer Treat" I can vouch
that it is just as delicious in winter:
Delicious Sour Cream Cake-One-
fourth cup shortening, / cup sugar,
2 eggs, IL cups flour, 2 teaspoons
baking powder, 4 teaspoon salt, l
cup sour cream, u teaspoon soda,
! teaspoon vanilla. Cream the Short
ening and gradually beat in one
half the sugar. Beat egg yolks with
remaining II cup of sugar, combine
with first sugar mixture, add va
nilla and beat until it is as light
as you can make it. Sift flour, meas
ure 1t, add baking powder and salt
and sift again.
Stir a teaspoon Of water with the
soda, add 1t to the sour cream and
beat until foamy. Then stir the
sifted ingredients into the cake
mixture in small amounts alter
nately with the cream mixture Fold
in the beaten whites Of the eggs
last. Bake in two 8-inch cake tins
that have been buttered and lightly
busted with flour. Use a moderate
oven $3.50 degrees) and bake about
80 minutes. Or make 1t In a loaf
and bake about IS minutes.
Any icing Is good, but orange but
ter cream Is also easy. Just beat
3 tablespoons of butter light q use
half butter and half margarine),
then gradually beat in about a pound
of confe .ioner's sugar. When it
begins to seem stiff add a table
spoon of cream. Then add about 4
tablespoons Of orange juice as the
beating proceeds and l teaspoon of
grated orange rind. Since the Or
ange juice didn't give the icing
much color, I added little of the
vegetable coloring that comes in
each package of margarine and it
made very pretty icing. But be
sure the cake is cold when you
spread this icing on it.
