Old Fashioned Yellow Cream Cake

1 cup sugar
1 cup cream
2 tsp. baking powder
2 eggs, separated
1 tsp. lemon or vanilla extract
2 cups flour
a pinch of salt

In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites until peaks form and set aside. Mix together remaining ingredients and fold in the beaten egg whites.

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven in a greased 9x15-inch baking pan until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Frost with confectioners sugar icing or serve with fruit in syrup and topped with ice cream or whipped cream.

This is a good cake for slicing into sections to make layered desserts. In a large glass container, stack a layer of the sliced cake, a layer of fruit and syrup (such as strawberries), a layer of ice cream or Cool Whip, etc. Layer decoratively so that it can be seen from the outside of the container and the dessert may be used as a centerpiece. Refrigerate until ready to use (at least 1 hour).
