Baked Meringue Spice Cake
Last month I made this cake to celebrate my mother in law's birthday.
The recipe came from an old cake recipe book published in 1950 that my mother in law gave to me many years ago.
I didn't have cake flour. I used unbleached flour from King Arthur's and it tends to be dry so I had to use more liquid. I knew that one egg white wouldn't be enough to cover the cake so used two.
It turned out to be nice and light and super tasty.
A real hit with everyone.

Oh yum! That looks wonderful. It sort of sounds like a Pavlova.
...I like the handwritten notes on the page.
Nuts, spice, cake and meringue, sounds delicious. What a wonderful old recipe book; well used and with notes, which makes it full of character and perfect. I need to bake a cake this week so I may well give this one a go.
My wife has a store of recipes that we her aunts and Mums - they are great!

You are pretty good at this if you know how to adapt recipes.
That book looks so well used. The old ones are the best.
Never heard of meringue on a cake — only lemon pie.
