n even teaspoon baking powder. Bake in three layers. For
the cream take 1/2 pint milk, and when boiling stir in 2 even teaspoons
corn starch, dissolved in a little cold milk, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1
egg, stirring briskly a few moments. When cool, spread on the cake.
Flavor with vanilla or lemon.

=Cream Puffs.=

1 cup hot water, 1/2 cup butter. Boil water and butter together, and
stir in 1 cup dry flour while boiling. When cool add 3 eggs, not beaten.
Mix well, and drop by spoonfuls in buttered tins. Bake in a quick oven
twenty-five minutes. This makes fifteen puffs. When cool fill with
whipped cream.

=Ice Cream Cake.=

1 cup butter, 2 cups sugar, a little more than 2/3 cup of milk, 4 even
cups of sifted flour, in which has been sifted 2 teaspoons of baking
powder; flavoring and the whites of 5 eggs beaten stiff, added last.
Cream the butter and sugar, add milk, then flour, with baking powder,
flavoring and whites of eggs, the cake well-beaten as each ingredient is
added. Bake in jelly-cake tins, two white layers, reserving enough to
make one layer colored with a little of Price's coloring, which will
make one pink layer. Put this between the two white layers, with a thin
frosting spread between, then frost the whole cake. By dividing the cake
before baking into three parts, keeping one white, adding the pink
coloring to another, and a heaping tablespoon of grated chocolate to the
third, you can have the three layers different, nice ice cream bricks.

of Baker's chocolate, 3 eggs, 2 teaspoons baking powder. Scrape the
chocolate fine and add 5 tablespoons of sugar to it (this in addition to
1-1/2 cups). Beat the butter to a cream. Gradually add sugar, beating
all the while. Add 3 tablespoons of boiling water to the chocolate and
sugar. Stir over the fire until smooth and glossy, then stir into the
