- 2 sticks butter or margarine
- 3 cups flour, self-rising
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs

a small amount at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flavoring.
Pour into 3 well greased 9 inch layer cake pans and bake in moderate oven
375 degrees for 30 minutes.
- 3 egg whites, unbeaten
- 2 cups sugar
- 7 tbs. water
