Sensing the multi-recipe theme? (Update on Jan. 15, 2018: Thanks to Darlene in the comments for catching a typo/missing line in the cleaned-up version!)
From a box sold in Christine, North Dakota.
Banana Cake
1-/2 c. shortening
1-1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs
2 c. flour
2-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 c. sour milk
1 c. mashed bananas
vanilla
Nut Cup Cake
1/2 c. shortening
1/2 tsp. salt
vanilla
1 c. sugar
4 egg yolks
2 c. cake flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2/3 c. milk
nuts
Beat yolks good. Usual method.
(Pre-war) Tri-Layer White Cake (good)
3/4 c. shortening
vanilla
3/4 tsp. salt
Cream and add 2 c. sugar, gradually.
3 c. sifted flour (cake)
3 tsp. baking powder, sifted
Alternate with:
1/2 c. milk
1/3 c. water
Beat 6 egg whites. Fold in carefully.
350 deg. oven, 25 minutes.
On the nut cup cakes you have 2 cups milk but it’s supposed to be 2 cups flour — and then 2 tsp baking powder — then 2/3 cup milk and then nuts
Whoops, thanks for that catch–fixing!
