Ingredients for Loaf Cake Recipe
- 2 eggs
- 4 tablespoons solid vegetable fat
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 cup flour and 4 tablespoons cornstarch sifted together
- 4 tablespoons cold water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Add 1/2 cup sugar to the solid fat, and cream until white and light.
- Add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar to the yolks, and beat with a Dover beater until thick and lemon-colored.
- Work the yolk mixture into the creamed fat; then add the salt, the flavoring, and the liquids gradually, stirring as they are being added.
- Add the sifted flour and starch, and fold together with a spoon until smooth.
- Add a pinch of salt to the whites, and beat them stiff and dry.
- Fold into them the batter, using a spoon, so as not to break down the lightness of the eggs unnecessarily.
- Pour into a paper-lined or oiled tin, and bake in a slow oven to begin with, and increase the heat so as to brown lightly, which requires from 20 to 35 minutes according to the thickness of the loaf.
