Calumet Cup Kakes


Yes, it says "Kake." Here is an example of Nana's phonetic English, having taught herself how to read and write in English and having had to quit school (in French-speaking Quebec) at a young age. 


Fun Facts from Wikipedia: "Calumet" is a French-derived word for a Native American peace pipe.





Calumet Cup Cakes
1 2/3 cups sifted cake flour
1 ½ teaspoon calumet baking powder
1/3 cup butter or shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs well beaten
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon lemon or vanilla extract

Sift flour once, measure. Add baking powder and sift together three times. Cream butter thoroughly, add sugar and cream together. Add eggs and flour, alternating with milk, a small amount at a time. Beat after each. Smooth. Pour into greased pan about 2/3 full. Bake oven at 350.
