Eight eggs (whites only), one-half pound butter, one-half pint milk, one pound sugar, one pound flour, one teaspoon Royal Baking Powder, one teaspoon extract almond. Cream your butter and sugar, add milk and flour and seasoning. Beat eggs very light and add last. Bake in jelly pans. This will make two of three layers each. Icing: Make a boiled icing of three cups of sugar and one gill of water. Let it boil until it will harden in water. Beat the whites of two eggs very light and pour the syrup over them, beating all the time. Season with teaspoonful of extract of vanilla. Add one cup of stoned raisins and one of English walnuts. Put this between the layers and on top. This quantity is enough for about one. I generally break the nuts into about four.
