Instructions

  1. Mix flour and sugar in a bowl. Add the cup of boiling water and beat this well, let this mixture cool (I usually put in fridge to cool). Add baking powder & salt beat well.
  2. Beat egg whites til very stiff with cream tartar.
  3. Fold the flour/sugar mixture into the egg whites add flavorings.
  4. Put in a NON-GREASED pan. Bake on bottom rack in oven. 350 for 30 minutes. Flip pan over on cooling rack cool 15 mins then run a knife around edges to loosen then gently pull the cake out of the pan and finish cooling on rack.
  5. This is a great tasting cake and never fails to raise evenly. I have made hundreds of these and easy to have on hand, infact it is better tasting a week after you make it. enjoy!
