Whipped Cream Cake

One cup of sugar and two tablespoonfuls of soft butter stirred together;
add the yolks of two eggs well beaten, then add four tablespoonfuls of
milk, some flavoring, then the beaten whites of the eggs. Mix a teaspoonful
of cream of tartar and a half teaspoon of soda in a cup of flour, sift it
into the cake batter and stir lightly. Bake in a small dripping-pan. When
the cake is cool, have ready half a pint of sweet cream sweetened and
whipped to a stiff froth, also flavored. Spread it over the cake while
fresh. To whip the cream easily, set it on ice before whipping.
