COUSIN MELIssA's SPONGE CAKE
Twelve eggs, four cups of powdered SUI
gar, four cups of prepared flour, juice and
grated peel of two lemons. Beat whites
and yOlks separately and very light, add
the sugar TO the yolks, then lemon juice
and rind, the whites, at last the -four,
stirred in quickly. Too much stirring
toughens this cake. Bake in square or
brick-shaped pans, lined with buttered
paper. Be very careful as to the baking.
Lay white paper over the pans when the
cake goes into the oven, for the door
should not be opened in less than twenty
minutes. Turn the tins then gently or
the batter may fall. This is for large
quantity OF sponge cake, but it will be so
good that it will disappear rapidly.
LEMoNADE.-Peels six lemons; roll and
slice them and pack in pitcher, alter
nately with sugar, allowing for each lem
on two heaping tablespoonfuls. Cover
and set in a cold place for ten or fifteen
minutes before adding three pints of water
and lump of ice. stir well and long;
fill tumblers one-third the way to the top
with cracked ice and pour in the lemon
ade.
