This is an excellent tasting cake that I have made many times. It taste best with just a simple powdered sugar glaze drizzled over it! This is a very OLD recipe (1926)from The Wisconsin State Fair 'Blue Ribbon Cookbook'.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups cake flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 9 - egg whites
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 5 - egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

How To Make sunshine cake

  • Step 1
    In a large bowl sift together flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a large bowl beat egg whites and cream of tartar until medium stiff. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  • Step 3
    In a small bowl beat egg yolks, water and extracts for 1 minute. Add to sifted dry ingredients and beat 1 more minute on medium speed.
  • Step 4
    Gently fold egg/flour mixture into beaten egg whites 1/4 at a time.
  • Step 5
    Pour into a tube pan and bake 45-50 in a 350 degree oven. When cake springs back to a light touch of the finger it is done.
  • Step 6
    Invert pan to cool. Let stand overnight before removing from pan.
  • Step 7
    Frost with a buttercream frosting or I like a powdered sugar glaze drizzled over cake.
