and one of soda sifted in the flour. Put all the ingredients together, beat ten
minutes, bake in two long sheets, spread with jelly, and roll up while
hot.--Mrs. Wm. Brown, Massillon.

      ROLLED JELLY CAKE.
Beat twelve eggs and one pound pulverized sugar together very lightly, then stir
in three-fourths pound of flour, making batter as light as for sponge-cake, and
thin enough to spread nicely when poured; make up as quickly as possible. Have
shallow tin-pans prepared (about twelve by eighteen inches and an inch deep) by
lining with thin brown paper, using no grease on pan or paper; pour in batter,
spread out with a knife as thin as possible (about half an inch thick), and bake
in solid oven. When done, remove from oven, let cool a few minutes, and while
still warm, but not hot, turn out of pan upside down. With a brush or soft cloth
wet in cold water, brush over the paper and pull it off; spread cake thin with
jelly and roll it up, being careful to place the outer edge of roll against
something so that it will not unroll until cold. Sprinkle with powdered sugar
and serve. If baked in pans such as are described above, the recipe will make
two rolls, each twelve inches long, which should be cut in two, making four
rolls. Use no baking-powder, as it makes the cake too brittle. Many use none in
sponge-cake. The paper lining should be larger than pan, to lift out the cake by
taking hold of the projecting edges.--C. W. Cyphers, Minneapolis.

      KELLEY ISLAND CAKE.
One cup butter, two of sugar, three of flour, four eggs, half cup milk, three
tea-spoons baking-powder; bake in jelly-tins.
For filling stir together a grated lemon, a large grated apple, an egg, and a
cup sugar, and boil four minutes.--Miss Greeley Grubbs.

      LEMON CAKE.
One and one-half cups sugar, one of butter, two and one-half of flour, five eggs
beaten separately, four tea-spoons sweet milk, tea-spoon cream tartar, half
tea-spoon soda.

For Jelly.--Take coffee-cup sugar, two table-spoons butter, two eggs, and the
juice of two lemons; beat all together and boil until the consistency of jelly.
For orange cake use oranges instead of lemons.--Miss Minnie Brown.
