Half a cup of butter beaten to a cream with half a cup of sugar, one cup
of Porto Rico molasses, one cup of thin sour cream or milk, three eggs,
the whites and yolks beaten separately, two cups of berries, two and a
half cups of flour, one teaspoonful of soda sifted with the flour. Bake
as soft gingerbread and serve hot.
CINNAMON CAKE.
One cup of granulated sugar, butter the size of an egg, one egg, one cup
of milk, two cups of flour, one teaspoonful of cream of tartar, half a
teaspoonful of soda. Mix in the usual way, but sifting the soda and
cream of tartar with the flour. Put in a shallow pan, sprinkle with
sugar and cinnamon, and bake about fifteen minutes in a moderate oven.
CREAM PUFFS.
One pint of water, half a pound of butter, three-quarters of a pound of
flour, and ten eggs. Boil the water and butter together, and while
boiling stir in the flour. Let it boil five minutes, then stir in the
eggs one at a time without beating. Drop into a pan by spoonfuls--not
close together--and bake in a quick oven fifteen minutes. When cold cut
them open and fill with the cream.
FILLING.--One quart of milk, two cups of sugar, one cup of flour and
four eggs. Boil the milk, beat eggs, sugar and flour together and stir
into the milk, stir constantly until thick--about five minutes--and
flavor to taste.
LADY CAKE.
Half a cup of butter, one cup of granulated sugar, half a cup of milk,
two cups of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, the whites of four
eggs, and a teaspoonful of almond extract. Beat the butter and sugar to
a cream, stir the milk into one cup of the flour and add to the butter
and sugar, then the whites of eggs beaten to a stiff froth. Sift the
baking powder and remaining cup of flour together, add to the other
ingredients with the teaspoonful of almond extract. If baked in a loaf
it will require three-quarters of an hour or more.
HONEY CAKE (a Norwegian Recipe).
Two pounds of strained honey, three-quarters of a pound of light brown
sugar, three-quarters of an ounce of bicarbonate of potash, pounded very
fine and dissolved in a little water, one cup of cream, half a cup of
melted butter, ginger, cloves and pepper to taste, stir this all well
together, add to it as much flour as will make it like a thick mush, set
it away until the next day, then turn it into a well-greased cake mould
and bake about three-quarters of an hour.
