a little fruit, such as dried currants, cherries, etc., or a little
preserves; pour in the batter, filling the cups a little more than
half full; set them in a steamer and steam forty minutes. This will
make five cups. Served with the following sauce:

tablespoons of butter, one egg; beat altogether with an egg beater;

gradually the flour and sugar; beat well four fresh eggs, add them
with the grated rind of a lemon, stirring until the mixture is thick
like dough. Put it on a pasteboard and when cold roll to the desired
thickness, about one-quarter of an inch thick; lay any kind of jam

APPLE PUDDING.

From MRS. IDA L. TURNER, of Texas, Lady Manager.

enough to sweeten; thickly butter the sides and bottom of an earthen
baking dish and press all around them crumbs from the inside of a loaf
of bread, having them nearly an inch thick. Mix with the apples a
tablespoonful of butter and one egg, beaten; put the apples into the
dish without disturbing the crumbs; over the surface put a layer of
crumbs, dotted with bits of butter, and bake the pudding until brown;
turn a platter over the pudding dish, quickly turn both upside down so
the pudding will slip out on platter. Dust with powdered sugar and
serve hot.

Large.

CAKE


SPONGE CAKE.

From MRS. ISABELLA BEECHER HOOKER, of Connecticut, Lady Manager.

_The recipe I send for Sponge Cake was one constantly in use twenty-
five years ago, when this picture was taken, and so might well be used
in connection with that recipe, which is the only one in which I fell
a personal interest._

_It gives me pleasure to oblige you, and I am cordially yours for
womankind, also for mankind._

Ten eggs; one-half pound flour; one pound pulverized sugar; one lemon;
small teaspoon salt. Beat yolks separately and very thoroughly; add
sugar, salt, lemon juice and grated peel, and beat again. Beat whites
to stiffness and add to the yolks, beating well together. Then cut the
flour in slowly with large knife and _avoid beating_ after this.
Bake in two deep, long, narrow tins, in rather slow oven, but hot on
the bottom. The secret of success is in cutting in the flour and the
baking. But few people will believe this and cannot reach my standard.
I have made this cake for forty years with uniform success.


SPONGE CAKE.

From MRS. MARTHA A. GRIGGS, of Washington, Alternate Lady Manager.

Six eggs; two cups of sugar. Beat twenty minutes, stir in lightly two
cups of flour and a little salt. Flavor to taste.


SPONGE CAKE.

From MRS. MARIE J. GASTON, of South Dakota, Alternate Lady Manager.

Four eggs; two cups of sifted floor; two cups of granulated sugar; one
cup of boiling water; two level teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Beat
the eggs very light, yolks and whites together; add the sugar, then
one cup of flour, little by little; put baking powder in the other cup
of flour and add in the same way; then pour in the cup of boiling
water, a little at a time, stirring constantly. Flavor with vanilla.
Bake in dripping pan twenty-five minutes.


NORTH DAKOTA SPONGE CAKE.

From MRS. ALICE VINEYARD BROWN, of North Dakota, Alternate Lady
Manager.

One cup of sugar, one cup of flour, four eggs. Beat yolks of eggs to a
light creamy mixture, pour over the sugar and beat two minutes; add
whites beaten to a foam, and stir hard for two minutes; now add one
cup of flour which has been sifted three times, and to which was added
a pinch of salt; stir _very lightly_, usually four whisks of the
spoon is sufficient; now pour into a shallow pan; let stand one
minute; raise the pan several inches from the table and let it drop
suddenly, striking flat on the bottom; this will cause air bubbles to
break and make the cake fine grained; put into a very moderate oven
and in five minutes heat quickly; twelve to fifteen minutes will
suffice. Have ready a lemon frosting, and the result will be a most
beautiful cake, fit to grace any occasion.


CHAPERONE SPONGE CAKE.

From MRS. ANNIE L. Y. ORFF, of Missouri, Alternate Lady Manager.

Mix one and one-half cups pulverized sugar; one teacup flour; a little

juice, then extract of orange and whites of eggs, well beaten; stir in

quickly in the oven if it has been twice well raised. Have oven hot

after it begins to brown, check the fire and let it bake rather slowly
the remainder of the time. Whole time, one hour and a quarter.
