Orange or pineapple juice |

Oven Temp ~ 350°
Baking Time ~ 1 Hour & 10 Min. Pan Type ~ 10 inch tube pan |
Preheat the oven, Do not grease the pan
Separate the whites of the eggs and beat them good until
stiff. While beating them add 3/4 cup sugar slowly until it's good and foamy
(also the salt). Now get to the yellow of the 6 eggs. Also beat them until
good and stiff. (Of course, don't forget the 3/4 cup of the sugar which it's
left from the 1 1/2 cups of sugar.) Now after the yellow is nice and stiff
add slowly the flour which it's already sifted with the baking powder.
Alternate the juice and flour slowly. When the flour and juice is mixed up,
slowly add the whites (which have been beaten) and very slowly mix it
together. I hope you will find it good if you will follow up everything I
put down.
Have you got a tube pan? It's got to be in one. Also, do not grease the pan.
Bake it until brown and done. Make sure you turn the pan upside down. Let
the cake stay in the pan until it's cold. Then with a knife slowly separate
the cake from the sides of the pan, and it will come out easy.
Love, Grandma
