1/2 cups milk
tsp. vanilla extract
/2 tsp. almond extract
/4 cup raisins
red and green food coloring.
Preheat oven at 325F.
Whip egg whites
Cream butter, sugar and egg yolks together.
Sift flour, salt and baking powder together. Fold into creamed mixture, alternating with
the milk.
Add vanilla and almond extracts. Fold in egg whites.
Separate 1/3 of dough and add green food coloring. Add red food coloring and raisins to
remaining dough.
Grease and flour a large round tube pan, then insert vertically a waxed paper circle
"fence" 2 inches from the edge of the pan.
Pour green dough OUTSIDE fence and raisin/red dough INSIDE fence.
Remove "fence" and place pan into oven on middle rack.
Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Note: If you wish to make an Easter Egg Cake, take five ½ cup portions of dough in
separate cups. Use egg dye to color each portion a different color. Pour in half of the
remaining dough into the pan; add the colored dough evenly. Pour the rest of the dough
over the top.
Use a table knife to cut down into the dough from center to outside, all around. Then in
different places, cut dough from outside to center. Then one circle to the left, and one
circle to the right. Decorate with thin white frosting and green dyed coconut nests with
jelly bean eggs.
For Halloween, use 1 cup orange, and 1 cup black colored dough. Alternate the same
way. ORANGE icing and black jelly beans on top.
To make a Christmas Cake, do as Easter egg recipe above, but only make 1 cup of green
and 1 cup of red. Alternate the same way. White icing drizzled down the sides.
Fourth of July is, of course, red and blue dough, alternated the same way. If adults are
watchful, one could put a sparkler on top when it's served.
