1
tsp. vanilla extract  
/2 tsp. almond extract  
Preheat oven to 325F.  
Whip the egg whites.  
Cream butter, sugar and egg yolks.  
Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder. Add to creamed mixture, alternating with  
the milk. Add vanilla and almond extracts. Fold in the egg whites.  
Pour batter in a greased and floured large round METAL MIXING BOWL, filling to 3-

Constructing An Igloo Cake:  
Materials needed:  
White icing, blue food coloring, small paint brush, one black licorice stick, one pipe  
cleaner or fine wire, a scale-size evergreen tree and a Santa if you wish.  
After cake is cooled, turn over onto a large round serving platter.  
With a sharp paring knife carve a scale-sized "front door" into the cake. Ice the cake with  
white/vanilla frosting, coating it smoothly. Let icing dry  
Once the icing is dry, use a small paint brush and outline "blocks of ice" with blue food  
coloring.  
Thread the pipe cleaner (or other type wire) through the center of the licorice stick, then  
shape it into a spiral and stick it into the top of the  
Cake. This is the "smoke" rising from the center of the Igloo.  
Add the tree and figure, and other scale-size creatures for decoration. Enjoy your Igloo  
Cake!
