Cake:
1/4 C Butter
1 C Sugar
2 Eggs
1 3/4 C Flour -- Unsifted
2 1/4 Tsp Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp Salt
3/4 C Milk
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
Frosting:
1 Egg White
3 Tbsp Water
1 Tbsp Light Corn Syrup
1 C Sugar
1/8 Tsp Salt
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract

INSTRUCTIONS for cake:
Cream butter until smooth. Gradually add sugar and beat
until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after
each addition. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together. Add
to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending
with flour. Stir in vanilla. Put batter into two greased 8-inch
layer pans lined with paper (or spray pans with Baker's Joy).
Bake at 375F for 20-25 minutes. Frost with Seven-Minute Frosting.

Seven-Minute Frosting:
Heat water to boiling in the lower part of double boiler.
Water in lower part should surround upper part. Place water, egg
white, syrup, sugar and salt in upper part of double boiler. Beat the
mixture with a rotary egg beater or electric beater, rapidly at first,
then steadily and continuously for about 7 minutes. Keep water
boiling in lower part of double boiler during the beating. Remove from
heat, pour out hot water and fill with cold water, and replace
upper part of double boiler. Allow mixture to stand for 5 minutes. Add
vanilla and stir.

Frosting Variations:
Brown Sugar Frosting: Substitute 1 cup firmly packed brown
sugar for white sugar; use 2 tablespoons water in place of 3
tablespoons. Omit corn syrup.

Fruit and Nut Frosting: Add 1/2 cup nuts, figs, dates or
seedless raisins, or a combination of these when adding vanilla.

Coconut Frosting: Coconut may be mixed with frosting or
sprinkled on the top.
