1223 | Mille-feuilles Cake.
—Take a pound of short paste or feuilletage (No. 1076), and divide it into five equal parts. Roll out each piece twelve inches long by four wide, then lay them in a baking-pan, sprinkle a little powdered sugar over, and place them in the oven for ten minutes. Remove, and form the cake by laying these one on top of the other, with layers of preserves between, each layer being of different colored preserves. Put the fifth piece on top of the last layer for a cover. Then cut the cake into six equal pieces; decorate either with different colored preserves, or with whipped cream (No. 1254), and serve on a dessert-dish with a folded napkin.
