I have eaten this cake for at least 50 years. My grandmother found the recipe in a magazine. I still have it, albeit it is really worn and falling apart. I make this cake for my family at least 4 times a year. We all love it!!!

My mother had the original 1959 bake off cookbook with this recipe. My mother made everything from scratch. Our birthdays were a special day and we got the cake we wanted. Coming from a family with 9 kids, this cake was requested by almost everyone of us as a favorite because it tastes so good. I would highly recommend it as the best cake ever.

correction-Sea Foam Frosting
1/3 cups sugar
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/3 cup water
1 Tbsp corn syrup
1 egg white
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, brown sugar and corn syrup. Cook to softball (236 F). Meanwhile beat egg white and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. While beating constantly, add the syrup to egg white in a slow, steady stream. Beat until thick enough to spread.

The original recipe called for a seafoam frosting which was a cooked candy like frosting, not a whipped cream frosting. Why the change, I don't know. Maybe it's less sweet this way.

I made this cake a few time back in 1960s and we loved it. I was so happy to find the recipe again. Hope it works well at high altitude. I remember it was sooo good.
