Ingredients:





     6    Egg whites


   1/2 ts Vanilla extract


 1 1/2 c  Sugar


   1/2 ts Cinnamon powder


    10    Egg yolks


   1/2 ts Nutmeg


 1 1/3 c  Butter


   1/2 ts Allspice powder


 2 1/2 c  Flour






 Beat  the  egg  whites with one-third of the sugar and, in a separate bowl,


 beat the egg yolks with another third. Soften the butter and cut into small


 pieces, them mix this  with  the remaining sugar and beat until light and


 creamy.  Place  the three mixtures into one large bowl, add the flour and


 vanilla extract and blend thoroughly.


 


 Transfer two-thirds of the mixture to another bowl and to this add the


 cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice powder and stir to blend well.


 


 Pour  one-third of the spiced mixture into a well-greased cake tin and bake


 in a moderate oven until firm, then add half the plain mixture and bake


 until this is also  firm.  Repeat  the process three more times; spiced,


 plain,  and  ending  with spiced. Turn out onto a wire rack and allow to


 cool  before serving.
