       Yield: 6 Servings
  
       6    Egg whites
     1/2 ts Vanilla extract
   1 1/2 c  Sugar
     1/2 ts Cinnamon powder
      10    Egg yolks
     1/2 ts Nutmeg
   1 1/3 c  Butter
     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.
