Jewish cooking
Make a sponge cake batter, and bake in long tins, not too large. The
batter should not exceed the depth of one-fourth of an inch, spread it
evenly and bake it in a quick oven (line the tins with buttered paper).
As each cake is taken from the oven, turn it upside down on a clean
board or paper. Spread with a thin layer of currant or cranberry jelly,
and lay the other cake on top of it. With a hot, sharp knife cut into
strips like dominoes; push them with the knife about an inch apart, and
ice them with ordinary white icing, putting a tablespoonful on each
piece, the heat of the cake will soften it, and with little assistance
the edges and sides may be smoothly covered. Set the cakes in a warm
place, where the frosting will dry. Make a horn of stiff white paper
with just a small opening; at the lower end. Put in one spoon of dark
chocolate icing and close the horn at the top, and by pressing out the
icing from the small opening, draw a line of it across the centre of
each cake, and then make dots like those on dominoes. Keep the horn
supplied with the icing.
LADY FINGERS
Beat the yolks of three eggs until light and creamy, add one-quarter
pound of powdered sugar (sifted) and continue beating; add flavoring to
taste, vanilla, lemon juice, grated rind of lemon or orange. To the
whites of the three eggs add one-half saltspoon of salt and beat until
very stiff. Stir in lightly one-half cup of flour and then fold in the
beaten whites very gently. Press the mixture through a pastry tube on a
baking-tin, covered with paper in portions one-half inch wide by four
inches long, or drop on oblong molds; sift a little powdered sugar on
top of each cake, and bake from ten to fifteen minutes in a moderate
oven. Do not let brown. Remove immediately from pan, brush the flat
surface of one cake with white of egg and press the underside of a
second cake upon the first.
JELLY ROLL
Take three eggs creamed with one cup of granulated sugar, one cup of
flour sifted with two teaspoons of baking-powder, add one-half cup of
boiling water. Bake in broad pan--while hot, remove from pan and lay on
cloth wet with cold water. Spread with jelly and roll quickly. Sprinkle
with powdered sugar.
