1/2 c. shortening
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
3 tsp. Royal baking powder
1 3/4 c. pastry flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. milk

Cream shortening, egg yolks and sugar. Beat well. Sift dry ingredients together and add alternately with milk. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Pour into 2 greased and floured cake pans. Bake in moderate 350 degree oven for 40-45 minutes. Frost with Sea Foam Frosting.

SEA FOAM FROSTING:

1/2 c. light brown sugar
1 c. granulated sugar
1/4 c. water
2 tbsp. strong coffee
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
2 egg whites
1/2 tsp. salt

Boil sugar, water, coffee and cream of tartar without stirring until syrup spins a thread. Pour hot syrup very slowly over stiffly beaten egg whites, beating continually until thick enough to hold its shape. Add salt; whip again and spread thickly all over cake.
