     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.
