Martha’s Cake ( For Jelly. ) ✠
3 eggs.
1 cup sugar.
Butter, the size of an egg.
1 cup flour.
1 teaspoonful cream-tartar, sifted in the flour.
½ teaspoonful soda, dissolved in a tablespoonful milk.
Bake in jelly-cake tins, and spread, when cold, with fruit-jelly.
This is, although so simple and inexpensive, an admirable foundation for the various kinds of jelly, cream, and méringue cake, which are always popular. It seldom fails, and when well mixed and baked, is very nice. If prepared flour be used leave out soda and cream-tartar.
