 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, then the flour in the same manner. Add


 flavorings. Bake in an angel cake (tube) pan in a 275 F. oven for 30


 minutes, then increase the heat to 300 F. after the cake has risen to its


 full height, and bake 15 minutes longer or until the cake shrinks slightly


 and is well browned. Remove from oven and invert pan until cake is cold.


 Remove from pan and ice if desired. The cake in the illustration is iced


 with Boiled Icing tinted yellow, and settled in a nest of coconut tinted


 green. The breen leaves are mode with green icing. The flowers are cut from


 marshmallows, and tinted with violet coloring.


 


 Boiled icing: Mix sugar, cream of tartar and water and cook over low heat


 until syrup spins a thread (240 F). 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. Beat until the right consistency to spread.
