I have a great historical cookbook by Better Homes and Gardens entitled
"Heritage Cookbook". It offers several recipes that famous historical
figures either made or loved...
"It is said that President Abraham Lincoln took little interest in food and
eating. However, this delicious cake was an exception, and he pronounced it
the best dessert he ever ate."
Cream together sugar, butter, and vanilla. Stir together the cake flour and
baking powder; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Stir in
almonds. Gently fold in the egg whites. Pour into two greased and lightly
floured 9x1-1/2 inch round baking pans. Bake at 375 degrees for 28 to 30
minutes. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans. Fill and frost with white
frosting.
WHITE FROSTING: In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, cream of tartar, and
salt. Bring mixture to boiling, stirring till the sugar dissolves. In
mixing bowl place egg whites; very slowly pour the hot sugar syrup over,
beating constantly with electric mixer till stiff peaks form, about 7
minutes. Beat in vanilla.
