Directions
Sift flour once, measure and sift four more times.
Measure sugar and sift or roll if coarse.
Add salt to egg whites and beat until foamy; add cream of tartar and continue beating until stiff but not dry.
Fold in the sugar, one tablespoon at a time.
Finish up batter and put into cake pan. Bake for about 40 minutes.
Invert, cool and frost.
Then boiled icing:
Mix sugar, cream of tartar and water and cook over low heat until syrup spins a thread.
Meanwhile, add salt to egg whites and beat with a flat beater until stiff.
Pour syrup in a thin stream over the egg whites; add flavorings.
