BIRTHDAY CAKE RECIPE.

MAKE YOUR OWN PARTY CAKE.

I wonder if any of you have got! cherished recipes for birthday cakes? Of course you have; but

it just struck me that I might pass on to you one which I had given to me as suitable for even a wod- ding cake. Very few of us would care to undertake the latter these days, no matter how elever we may be at cooking in a general way, so I do not suggest the recipe for that purpose. Here it is. You requiré one pound of flour, three-quarters of a pound of butter, one gill of rum, one gill of treacle, a quarter of a pound of sugar, one-and-a-half pounds of currants; three-quarters of a pound of chopped sultanas. three-quarters of a pound of mixed peel, some grated nutmeg, a quar- tur of a pound of ground almonds and seven eggs, Pass the flour and grated nutmeg through a sieve together; add the currants, sul- sugar. tanas, peel, almonds and Next melt the butter and treacle in stewpan; remove from the fire and add the rum. Pour this into the mixture and stir well. Lastly beat in the eggs one at a time. Bake in a moderate oven for two hours. After the first ten minutes the heat must be reduced to minimun and turned right of for the last quarter of an hour.

For the almond paste, you require three ounces of icing sugar" which you must boil in one large tablespoonfrl of orange flower water for six or seven min- utes; then add a quarter of pound of ground almonds. Re- move this from the heat and mix in the while of one egg. Allow to become slightly cool, then spread.
