cup milk scrape 2 squares of chocolate and add 3 tablespoons sugar (heaping); boil till thick, and spread between layers and on top. B60 LAYER CAKES CREAM CHOCOLATE FILLING.— Take 1| cups of confection- er's sugar and just enough sweet cream to moisten; mix well, set the vessel containing it in a kettle of hot water and let it come to the boiling point; then add the whites of 2 eggs beaten to a stiff froth, also enough grated chocolate to give a light or dark color, as desired. Beat until cool and stiff; then add a teaspoon of vanilla; spread be- tween and on the top of layer cakes. COCOANUT FILLING — Use either a plain or boiled icing, and stir in either grated or dessicated cocoanut. The cocoanut is some- times soaked in milk for | hour before using it. CRANBERRY FILLING. — On each layer spread rich cranberry jelley, and cover it with white icing. CREAM FILLING.— One pint of sweet milk; 1 small cup of sugar; put it over the fire, in a double boiler, or pail set in a kettle of boiling water; just before it boils add 2 welbbeaten eggs; a pinch of salt, and 2 tablespoons of corn=starch dissolved in a little cold milk; stir until it thickens. When cool, flavor with vanilla or lemon. WHIPPED CREAM FILLING — Whip 1 cup sweet cream to a stiff froth ; sweeten and flavor to taste, and spread on. The cream will froth easier if put on ice ^ hour before whipping. MOCK WHIPPED CREAM.— Take 1 large sour apple, peel- ed and grated, 1 cup white sugar, white of 1 egg; beat all together a long time. Flavor with vanilla. Mix the apple with the sugar as soon as possible after grating, or it will turn dark. Use like whipped cream. Delicious. Try it. CUSTARD FILLING
