BRIDE’S CAKE
(50-60 servings)
% cup butter 1 cup milk
2 cups sugar 6 stiffly beaten egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla ’A cup chopped blanched almonds
3 cups cake flour 'A cup chopped citron
'A teaspoon salt % cup chopped candied cherries
4 teaspoons baking powder
Make the recipe twice — once for the bottom tier and once for the second
and third tiers. Thoroughly cream butter and sugar. Add vanilla. Add flour,
sifted with salt and baking powder, alternately with milk. Fold in egg whites,
then nuts and fruits. Pour first recipe into 12-inch layer cake pan lined with
waxed paper. Bake at 350°F. (moderate oven) for 50 minutes. Repeat recipe,
using two 8-inch pans for second layer, using almost % of batter. Pour re
maining batter (about 2 cups) in prepared coffee can. Bake these three layers
at 350°F. (moderate oven) for 30-35 minutes. Invert on large cake racks, care
fully pulling paper off sides and bottom of cake. (Wrapping paper may be used
in place of wax paper for lining pans if desired.) Cool small cake top-side up.
While cakes are still slightly warm, spread sides with a thin coating of Butter
Frosting and let stand for several hours, or as long as 24 hours, before putting
cake together and decorating it. This prevents crumbs from getting into final
frosting and helps to keep the cake moist and fresh until the next day’s frosting — i
decorating doings. Do not put layers together. Cover with waxed paper and
towels, tucking edges of paper and towels under racks.

smoothly without running off the cake.
