TARTARIC CAKES.
Beat the yolks of three eggs, the whites whipped to a froth, three
full cups of brown sugar, half a pound of butter, one spoonful lard,
one and a half pound of flour, leaving two spoonfuls to roll with. Mix
all well together. Dissolve one teaspoonful soda and three-quarters
teaspoonful tartaric acid in a little cream. First mix the soda with
the dough, then the acid. Season with mace or wine. They will rise
very much.--_Mrs. D._
A DELICATE CAKE FOR TEA.
Beat the yolks and whites of two eggs separately; to the yolks add two

cream of tartar, sifted in the flour.
Bake in shallow pans.--_Mrs. C. V. McG._

BONNEFEADAS.
Make a rich paste with one quart flour; roll it out very thin, first
dividing it in two pieces, spread it with butter, washed and creamed,
"A" sugar, and pulverized cinnamon. Roll it up, cut it in pieces one
inch wide; put them in a pan with the whole side down; sprinkle over
them sugar, butter, and cinnamon. Bake quickly. Take them out of the
pan while hot.--_Mrs. Col. A. L._
DELICIOUS SMALL CAKES.
Yolks of 6 eggs.
1 light pound flour.
¼ pound butter.
1 spoonful lard.
1 pound sugar.
These cakes are better without soda and of the consistency of
Shrewsbury cakes. Beat the whites of three eggs to a strong froth;
weigh one pound of the best "A" sugar, put it in a tin can with three
wine-glasses of water. Let it boil slowly, till it begins to rope, or
rather, when a little of it will cool on a plate, like it would begin
to candy. Then pour the boiling sugar gradually to the white of egg;
beat it well till it begins to thicken and to cool somewhat, then beat
into the icing two tablespoonfuls of powdered cinnamon, and ice over
the little cakes, using a stiff feather for the purpose. You can add
the other unbeaten whites of eggs, with an addition of sugar, to make
more small cakes.--_Mrs. M. C. C._
