Serves 8

Ingredients

 * 1 cup butter
 * 1 cup sugar
 * 4 eggs
 * ½ teaspoon vanilla
 * 1 5/8 cups flour -- sifted
 * 1 teaspoon baking powder
 * ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions
Cream the butter and sugar smoothly together; add the egg yolks one at a time, beating after each addition. Add the vanilla, then gradually the flour, which has been sifted with the baking powder. Beat continually. Whip 3 egg whites stiff with the salt and fold in. Pour into a buttered loaf or funnel pan. Bake in a moderate oven (350ºF.) 50 minutes to 1 hour. Test for doneness.

Use the other egg white to make a simple icing for the top; or use it in the cake recipe.
