• 5. Now add a bit of flour to the creamed mixture.
• 6. Alternate with the milk in about 3 intervals.
• 7. Now add extracts and yellow food coloring if desired., and beat till blended and well incorporated.
• 8. Beat egg whites till stiff peaks form. If it is a rainey day you will not get stiff peaks. So just beat until egg whites are frothy and foamy. Carefully fold egg whites into cake batter by using a spatula and going from the bottom of the bowl to the top, all the while you are turning the bowl.
• 9. Pour batter into prepared pans, either a 9 X 13 X 2 pan and bake for about 50 minutes or pour into 2 loaf pans.

• 11. May add a thin glaze if desired or dust lightly with powdered sugar, or serve with sweetened fruit.
• 12. Mama called it sweetbread because it could satisfy a sweet tooth I suppose. Using the 9 X 13 pan allowed all of us to savor in the taste of this sweet sensation. We always loved this sweet sensation because it was the perfect ending sweet sensation to an otherwise plain supper.
