CHOCOLATE BATTER CAKE Beat one egg, add one cupful of sugar, one-half cupful of milk, one-half cake of grated chocolate. Put on stove and stir until it is hot, then set aside to cool. Make a batter of three eggs (beaten separately), one cupful of sugar, one-half cupful of butter, one-half cupful of sweet milk, two cupfuls of swans- down flour (before sifting) and two teaspoonsful of baking powder. Cream butter well, adding two teaspoonsful of flour to it; then mix yellows and sugar, add to butter, then whites of eggs and flour alternately. The two bat- ters must then be mixed together. Bake in three layers. Filling — Two cupsful of sugar dissolved in hot water, cook until it threads well, then pour over the beaten whites of two eggs very slowly and flavor highly with vanilla. Put very thick between the layers. For outside of cake make the icing the same way but do not flavor at all. PORK CAKE One pound of fat pork (weighing without rind), one pint of strong coffee, four cups of brown sugar, one pound of raisins, one-half pound of English walnuts, nine cups of swansdown flour, one tablespoon of soda, one table- spoon of cinnamon, one nutmeg, pinch of salt. Directions — Grind pork, then pour coffee boiling hot on it, and set on the stove a few minutes before adding any of the other ingredients. Then put in sugar, soda, spices and flour. Dredge nuts and raisins with flour and add last. Bake one hour. NUT CAKE Three cups of swansdown flour (before sifting), three-fourths cup of butter or crisco, whites of seven eggs, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder sifted with the flour, two and one-half cups of sugar, four cups of chopped nuts floured.
