Torte-Cake
Cream-V2 cupful sugar, 1 heaping tablespoonful
butter; then add 4 well beaten yolks of eggs. Put
into this 1;3 cupful of milk. Then add one cupful of
flour into which has been sifted one teaspoonful
baking powder. Spread the above into two layer
cake pans. It must be stiff enough to spread with a
knife, if not, add a little more flour. Place merangue
on top of these and bake in slow oven from 25 to 30
minutes. For merangue, beat the 4 egg whites until
they are real stiff, adding gradually one cupful of
powdered sugar and a pinch of baking powder. Place
on top of the merangue about 1/2 cupful chopped
walnut meats. A cream custard can be used for
filling, but I prefer using whipped cream.
