1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour, sifted
1 tsp. baking powder
3 eggs, beaten separately
1 c. sugar
2 tbsp. milk or water

Mix dry ingredients. Add beaten eggs and milk (or water). Mix well. Divide batter in half and bake in two cake pans in a 400 degree oven. Bake until tops are straw-colored (check after cooking 20 minutes). When done and cool, split in half (into layers) with a sharp knife. The two cakes should make 4 layers. Spread with filling.

FILLING:

1 pt. milk
1/2 c. flour
2 eggs
1 c. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla

Heat milk to boiling in double boiler. Mix sugar, flour and salt. Break eggs in dish and beat well. Then, mix eggs with dry ingredients. Stir into milk gradually until it starts to boil and thicken. (It will thicken more when cool.) Add vanilla. Cool and spread on layers, top and sides as you would the frosting of a cake.

Note: If you like a chocolate flavor, mix 3 tablespoons of powdered cocoa to dry ingredients of filling and follow the same filling directions.
