What is a drop cake?

Answer 1

A drop cake is mixed and dropped on a baking sheet much like cookies would be made. Below is a simple drop cake recipe:

3/4 c sugar

2 egg yolks

Cream together sugar and egg yolks. Cream in thoroughly:

4 T shortening

Add:

1 1/2 C flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

2 stiffly beaten egg whites

Drop by full teaspoon 3 inches apart on a well-greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 until done, watching closely as baking times may vary according to drop-sizes.
