Queries From Readers.
Among this weeks interesting queries
is this:
II have sometimes eaten delicious
stuffed eggplants. Can you tell me how
to prepare them?"
Here is good recipe for stuffed egg
plant: Parboil good-sized firm egg
plant for 10 minutes, then lay in ice
cold water for an hour. Meantime, make

boiled tongue or ham, teaspoonful
each minced parsley and onion, salt,
pepper, beaten egg and little cream
to moisten. Take the eggplant from the

and bind in place with a strip of clean
muslin. Lay in deep baking pan, pour

BY SALLY MONROE.

Most Americans like cake. 1t Is not
difficult dessert, If you are an ordi-
narily good cook, and II it is eaten in
moderation it is not harmful. Hence
the cake-eating habit grows and thrives.
Layer cakes, as we make them here,
are distinctively American. They are
not difficult to master. In fact, you can
have one good foundation recipe, which,
varied, will give you all sorts Of de-
licious results.
There is the easy recipe which has
been given in these columns several
times, but one which is worth repeat
ing, so simple is it to make and so easy
to vary. 1t calls for a cup Of sugar and
cup and a half of flour, sifted twice,
with three level teaspoonfuls of baking
powder and teaspOonful of salt. Then
break two eggs in a cup, fill the cup
with milk and add to the dry ingredi-
ents. with five tablespoonful of melted
butter, or its equivalent in cooking oil.
Beat all together with a rotary egg
beater. The result is a smooth. rather
thin batter, which makes very SatiSfac-
tory layer or patty cakes
Variations in Foundation.
This foundation may be varied in
ginger, cinnamon and allspice, or
cloves, and bake in small patty cakes.
Then serve with whipped cream for
dessert. Another is to bake 1t in little
patty tins and to split each cake in
half crosswise-that Is, taking off the
top. Put in a layer of sliced oranges
or canned fruit, lay on the top and
serve with boiled custard.
Another is to make the cake in two
layers and put together with filling
of thick boiled custard, very cold, and
top with powdered sugar or whipped
cream.
Another Is to serve in little cakes
with a chocolate sauce, we'll chilled.
This same foundation, baked in lay
ers, makes very good cake for short
cakes, with whipped cream, sweetened,
on top.
And with it you can also make
good ice cream cake, putting the ice
cream, of chocolate or vanilla, between
the layers.
Recipes.
Here are recipes for other cakes in
layers and in loafs:
Lemon Cream for Filling-Grate rind
and squeeze juice of one lemon. One
cup sugar mixed with one tablespoonful
cornstarch (mix this thoroughly One
cupful water, put over fire in double
boiler. Set in hot water, add lemon
juice and grated rind. Stir sugar and
cornstarch slowly into the hot water
The slower you put it in the smoother
the cream will be- Boil until thick and
add one teaspoonful butter. Allow to
cool. This may be spread between lay
ers of the cake already given.
Walnut Mocha Cake One quarter
cupful shortening, whites Of three eggs,
one cupful sugar, one and three-fourths
cupfuls flour, two and one-half tea
spoonfuls powder, one-half cupful of
strong coffee, three fourths cupful of
walnut meats broken into small pieces.
Beat the egg whites stiff, gradually
