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
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla flavoring

Instructions

  1. Add 1/2 cup sugar to the solid fat, and cream until white and light.
  2. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar to the yolks, and beat with a Dover beater until thick and lemon-colored.
  3. Work the yolk mixture into the creamed fat; then add the salt, the flavoring, and the liquids gradually, stirring as they are being added.
  4. Add the sifted flour and starch, and fold together with a spoon until smooth.
  5. Add a pinch of salt to the whites, and beat them stiff and dry.
  6. Fold into them the batter, using a spoon, so as not to break down the lightness of the eggs unnecessarily.
  7. 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.
