Cheese Cakes CAKES Cheese Cakes (Mrs. Leed’s) into a very large cake-mould and bake for six hours. This cake will keep for years. Cheese Cakes. — The best are said to be those made in the farm-houses in the midland counties of England, as well as Stilton and Tuxford, in Nottinghamshire. The foundation of all of them is the rich cream curd, fla- vored with lemon or almonds ; some- times nutmeg and cinnamon and eggs, or, omitting eggs, a cup of cream or milk. All are baked in tartlet or patty pans, lined with a rich paste. Soyer, who is very excellent authority in all culinary arts, speaks of some delicious little cakes, great- ly resembling cheese cakes, called “ Richmond Maids of Honor,” which derived their quaint name from the maids of honor of Queen Elizabeth’s court. They are, in reality, only a variety of cheese cake, made some- what richer, and with the addition of “one very floury baked potato” instead of biscuit-powder, and one glass of brandy. They are baked in patty-pans, lined with puff paste, and both almonds and lemons are put with the curds, butter, and eggs of the filling. Another way : — One Neufch&tel or cream-cheese ; one teacupful of sugar; one lemon, grate the rind and use half of the juice ; half-teacupful of currants ; half - teacupful of rolled cracker-crumbs (the finer and more delicate the cracker the better) ; four eggs, well beaten ; one teaspoonful of melted butter ; half-teacupful of cream or rich milk; half a nutmeg; one salt- spoonful of salt
