OLD TIME YELLOW CREAM CAKE 
1 cup sugar
1 cup cream
2 tsp. baking powder
2 eggs, separated
1 tsp. lemon or vanilla extract
2 cups flour
a pinch of salt

In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites until peaks form and set aside. Mix together remaining ingredients and fold in the beaten egg whites.

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven in a greased 9x15-inch baking pan until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Frost with confectioners sugar icing or serve with fruit in syrup and topped with ice cream or whipped cream.

This is a good cake for slicing into sections to make layered desserts. In a large glass container, stack a layer of the sliced cake, a layer of fruit and syrup (such as strawberries), a layer of ice cream or Cool Whip, etc. Layer decoratively so that it can be seen from the outside of the container and the dessert may be used as a centerpiece. Refrigerate until ready to use (at least 1 hour).

Old Time Yellow Cream Cake

 Laura (Florida) says:
This is a very tasty moist recipe. I did alter a little to suit my needs. For some reason, maybe the humidity in the air? I found this recipe when mixed all together to be the consistency of a cookie dough. As a result, I added some extra cream, maybe about an extra 3/4 cup. I used the lemon extract and also some fresh squeezed lemon.I made them into cup cakes, about 18 cooked them for 20 minutes. I used the Orange Crush icing recipe to top these tasty treats, and a sprinkle of colored sugar...delish:)

This is and old recipe my grandmother made this all the time in a Bundt pan with butter cream frosting. Its really awesome. I like to let it get a little dry and dip it in milk.

This is such a delicious moist cake. I love it with lemon confection sugar icing but my son loves it with the vanilla confection sugar icing. Like one of the other reviews mentioned the batter was so thick I had to add extra cream also. Another 2/3 cup or so.
