2; frosted tea cakes.

recipe adapted from joyofbaking.com

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 3/4 cup egg beaters
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1-2 tsp lemon juice
• 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt

combine butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, & lemon juice; beat until smooth.

add flour, baking powder, & salt; mix until smooth again.

line cookie sheets with parchment paper & cook at 350* for 8-12 minutes. let cool & frost.

**i did not roll & cut the cookies, & i made them very thick drop cookies. i would not recommend this, as the frosting : cookie ration was off, & the cakes are not sweet or moist enough to be very tasty with so little frosting. thinner cookies with a thick layer of frosting would probably be much tastier.

1; victoria sponge cake.

recipe adapted from Ann Nicol's Baking.

• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
• 1/2 cup self-rising flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup egg beaters
• 1/2 tbsp milk

mixed all together, poured into lightly greased 8-in round cake pan, & cooked for ~25 minutes at 350*.

one cooled, put on plate, spread half with strawberry jam, folded other half on top, dusted with sugar.

i really enjoyed this cake -- it was light & fluffy, not too sweet, & went very well with the strawberry jam & the added texture of sugar dusted on top.
