Raised Cake Without Eggs.
In these wintry days, our hens often
refuse to supply US plentifully with eggs,
so that we are forced to use recipes which
require but few, or better still, none at
all. We have found the following a
toothsome cake: Stir together large
coffee cupful of light brown or white
sugar, and half cupful of butter; add
to it half pint of sweet milk aid half a
pint of warm water. To this mixture stir
in -four enough to make thick batter,
and half cupful of home made yeast;
set it to rise over night. Next morning
stir in cupful of chopped raisins or cur
rants, and tesspoonful each of chime
mon, cloves and nutmeg. Put it into two
baking pans; let it rise until perfectly
light, then bake three-quarters of an
hour.
