      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      6    Egg whites
    1/2 ts Vanilla extract
  1 1/2 c  Sugar
    1/2 ts Cinnamon powder

    1/2 ts Allspice powder
  2 1/2 c  Flour
 
  Beat  the  egg  whites with one-third of the sugar and, in a separate
  bowl, beat the egg yolks with another third. Soften the butter and
  cut into small pieces, them mix this  with  the remaining sugar and
  beat until light and creamy.  Place  the three mixtures into one
  large bowl, add the flour and vanilla extract and blend thoroughly.
  
  Transfer two-thirds of the mixture to another bowl and to this add the
  cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice powder and stir to blend well.
  
  Pour  one-third of the spiced mixture into a well-greased cake tin
  and bake in a moderate oven until firm, then add half the plain
  mixture and bake until this is also  firm.  Repeat  the process three
  more times; spiced, plain,  and  ending  with spiced. Turn out onto a
  wire rack and allow to cool  before serving.
