Recipe by: Jo Anne Merrill 1-For cake: cream butter (or margarine) and gradually add sugar. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each.
Add vanilla. Sift dry ingredients together; add to batter alternately with the milk. Divide batter in half. Into one half, add the spices and mix well. 2-Grease and flour two 8-inch cake pans. Pour batter into one pan and spice batter into the other. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven 25-30 minutes. Cool and then frost.
Seafoam Icing:
Put all icing ingredients except vanilla into the top of a double boiler; place over boiling water. Beat with an electric mixer set on low speed until blended, then beat on high until mixture stands in peaks. Remove from heat and add vanilla; beat about 5 minutes until of spreading consistency. This cake recipe was a third place winner at the Del Mar county fair. Jo Anne Merrill Posted by Dan Klepach
