Adapted Recipe- A Cheap Cake

3 eggs, separate yolks and whites

1 cup sugar

1 ¾ cup flour, sifted

½ cup milk

1 stick of butter, softened

1 tsp. of cream of tartar

½ tsp. of baking soda

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9 x 9 baking pan with spray. Cream butter and sugar. Add yolks, one at a time, mixing after adding each yolk. Sift cream of tartar and flour. In a measuring cup or bowl stir baking soda into milk. Add dry ingredients alternately with wet ingredients to the creamed butter, sugar, and egg yolks. In a separate bowl whip egg whites until they form peaks. Fold in whipped egg whites into cake batter until combined. Pour cake batter into greased baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Serve with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream.
