1 Cup Butter
Half Cup Sugar
Five Egg Whites, beaten stiff
One Cup Water
Two and a half cups sifted cake flour
Two tsp Baking Powder

Cream butter and sugar: alternate liquid and flour: add egg whites last.

The icing Mrs Russell favoured took one egg, four tbsp of cream, and two squares of chocolate and sweeten with powdered sugar to your own taste. Put ingredients together: cook in double boiler until thick: beat until creamy & spread on cooled cake.
