freezer full of ice-cream, she just took a cup
of cream and heated it with the sugar, and when
it was cold put in three drops of vanilla and
froze it.

found the cake to eat with them, and first of
all there was a rule for some little cakes which
the smallest girl in the neighborhood used to
make all alone.
Eleanor's Cakes
% CUP of butter.
% cup of sugar.
% cup of milk.
1 egg.
1 cup flour.

baking-powder with the flour and stir in, and
last the vanilla. Bake in small scalloped tins,
and fill each one only half -full.
Grandmother's Little Feather Cake
1 cup of sugar.
2 tablespoonfuls soft butter.
1 egg.
% cup milk and water mixed.
11/2 cups sifted flour.
1 teaspoonful baking-powder✪ Grandmother's Little Feather Cake.
Rub the butter and sugar to a cream. Beat
the yolk of the egg stiff and put that in ; then
add part of the milk and water, and part of the
flour and baking-powder, which has been sifted
together; next the vanilla, and last the stiff
whites of the eggs, not stirred in, but just lightly
folded in. If you put them in heavily and
roughly, cake will always be heavy. Bake this
in a buttered biscuit-tin, and cut in squares
when cold. It is nice covered with caramel or
chocolate frosting.
Domino Cake
Make this feather cake and pour it into two
pans, so that the bottom shall be just covered,
FOR A LITTLE GIRL 143
and bake it quickly. When it is done, take it
out of the pans and frost it, and while the
frosting is still a little soft, mark it off into
dominoes. When it is entirely cold, cut these
out, and with a clean paint-brush paint little
round spots on them with a little melted choc-
olate, to exactly represent the real dominoes. It
is fun to play a game with these at a tea-party
and eat them up afterwards.
Margaret's Own Cake
Margaret's mother named this cake for her,
because she liked so much to make it and to
eat it. It is a very nice cake for little girls.
5 eggs.
1 cup granulated sugar.
1 cup of flour.
1 pinch of salt.
