NICE AND CHEAP JUMBLES. NO EGGS
One cup of butter, two cups of sugar, one cup of clabber, a teaspoonful of soda
stirred into the clabber, a little grated orange or lemon peel, and a good quart
of sifted flour. Roll it, and cut in rounds with a hole in the middle, and bake
in a quick oven. If you wish, sprinkle sugar over them, and stick strips of
citron in each cake when you place them in the baking pan. They are quite nice.
Instead of clabber, you can use sweet milk and yeast powder in the flour.
MARBLE CAKE--WHITE PART
Whites of four eggs, one cup of white sugar, half a cup of butter, half a cup of
sweet milk, one teaspoonful of cream tartar, half a teaspoonful of soda.
MARBLE CAKE--BLACK PART.
Yolks of four eggs, one cup of brown sugar, half a cup of molasses, half a cup
butter, half a cup of sour milk, one teaspoonful of soda, and plenty of all
kinds of spices to suit the taste. Put first black, then white, dough, until all
is in; then bake. It is very nice.
FRENCH LOAF CAKE
Five cups of sugar, three of butter, two of milk, ten of sifted flour, six eggs,
three small nutmegs, one teaspoonful of saleratus, one pound of raisins, and
one-third of a pound of citron. Stir the butter and sugar to a cream, then add
part of the flour, the milk and the beaten yolks of the eggs, then add the rest
of the flour and the whites of the eggs; add the fruit as you get the cake ready
for the oven; season to taste. This will make four loaves. Bake one hour.
