While baking the above, get one pint of sweet milk, one cupful of
sugar, one cup of flour, butter one-half size of an egg. If you use
cream instead of milk, you can omit butter. Break two eggs into the
sugar, beat awhile, then add flour and beat thoroughly. Have the milk
on the fire, and as soon as it boils, stir the mixture in it, after
thinning it with some of the milk until it is like paste; cook until
it is like stiff starch. Season freely with vanilla when cold, and
spread it between the cakes as jelly cake is made.
Grated cocoanut can be used instead, by preparing as follows: one
large cocoanut grated, two pounds of loaf sugar. Pour the milk from
the nut on the sugar; boil it two or three minutes, first mixing in
the whites of three eggs; if not soft enough, add some sweet milk.
Take it off the fire, stir in the grated cocoanut, and spread between
the cakes.--_Mrs. J. F. G._
