Again I see meringue powder.

Seems like a simple addition to use. I will look for it in the store and try it.

Yes!

Yes, to a degree. But when I take it out to bring it to room temperature to serve, It breaks down some what. Not totally though, but still...

Never thought of looking at Karo syrup plus cream of tartar. I have both  in the house now.

Not many recipes this day and age even mention cream of tartar.

Okay!

I love recipes from old cook books.

The differences in ingredients and techniques mostly reflect the times that the book was published or written i.e. wars, state of the economy ( Depresion)etc.

So interesting to me.

Will have to  try some of these recipes you sent me.

Do you collect old cook books?

@Flatbush.  No,, somebody posted this online.  I noticed the icing using Crisco, which sounds yucky but one of my favorite icing recipes, similar to this one, uses Crisco.  It's not much different from using butter.
