Velvet Sponge Cake Recipe
2 eggs beaten light, beat in 1 cup of granulated or powdered sugar, 1/2 cup of sifted flour, next 1/2 cup of flour sifted with 1 tsp. of baking powder, and lastly, 1/2 (scant) cup of boiling water very gradually. Have the tin buttered. Fill and bake immediately in a well heated oven. The batter will seem very thin, but the cake is excellent. By the use of 1 more egg any layer cake may be made better than with butter. For this save 2 of the whites out for frosting, using the other egg and the 2 yolks for the cake. Bake in layer cake tins. Whip the whites stiff and stir in sugar. Spread between each layer and over the top.
