It has been way too long since I posted a recipe from the recipe box of our Grandmother Helen Pecar, but today I was inspired by our cousin Virginia Cenkner to do so. I looked through Grandma's box and found a wintery day recipe fit for this cold New Year's Eve morning. I will print the exact wording, as written by her hand, on the recipe card from her box.
Snow Cake
Moderate oven. 45 Minutes
1/4 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 egg whites
1/2 cup milk
1 2/3 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Cream butter, add sugar and vanilla, beat egg whites to a stiff froth and add. Sift flour and baking powder together and add in with milk.
That's it! The recipe card does not indicate the size of pan to use or the oven temperature. I would assume 350 degrees and with the amount of flour, maybe 9 x 9 or bundt pan, greased and floured. Be sure to post your comments if you try this!
Happy New Year!
