OF blackberry cordial. q tablespoon
full Of powdered alspice. half as much
powdered ginger. teaspoonful pow
dered cloves, three grated nutmegs, .
generous pinch Of powdered cinna-

ground black pepper. and the merest
dusting Of cayenne. When all these
are beaten In smooth. add four cups
Of flour lightly Drowned and sifted
twice with half teaspoonful Of .bak-

little cream was added. mixed with q
heaping tablespoonful, Of grated
chocolate. The cake was allowed to
rise fifteen minutes, then baked In
quick heat. In q paper bag, the same

the grid shelf inside . sealed bag.

on only half at frst, then increasing
the heat when the cake had had time
to rise.
Spice cake meant also silver cake
Notwithstanding eggs were 80 plenty.
