large, fine lemons. Prepare as before, adding the beaten whites of two eggs when it begins to freeze. RASPBERRY ICE. Follow the directions for strawberry ice, adding the juice of two lemons. Any ripe fruit may be used, such as peaches, apricots, plums and red currants, sweetening as they require. FROZEN PUDDING. Prepare a custard with a quart of rich milk, a pint of cream, a pound of sugar, and the yolks of eight eggs. Set it on the fire and stir constantly until it begins to thicken; remove from the fire, and when it is cold add three tablespoonfuls of brandy, one teaspoonful of vanilla, one teaspoonful of almond extract. Put in the freezer, and when partially frozen add a quarter of a pound of stoned raisins that have been cooked a little in water to soften them, a quarter of a pound of currants, a quarter of a pound of citron cut fine. Freeze smooth and put in a mould and pack in ice and salt. WINDSOR ROCK PUNCH. For twenty-four persons. Boil two quarts of cream; mix with it half a pound of granulated sugar and twelve eggs. Freeze the same as ice cream. Take one-half of the frozen mixture and add to it two wineglasses of Maraschino, one wineglass of Kirsch, and one-half wineglass of Santa Cruz rum; mix. When serving add a small lump of the frozen mixture to a punch glass of the other, or liquid. Cakes. CAKE MAKING. Have all the ingredients measured or weighed, the pans lined with paper or oiled, the nuts or fruit prepared, and the flour sifted before beginning to make a cake. Sift the baking powder and cream of tartar and soda with the flour or a part of it. Use pastry flour for all cake. Never put all the milk into a cake batter by itself, as it curdles and makes a coarse grained cake, but stir it in alternately with the flour. Put all loaves of cake into a moderate oven, that they may rise before beginning to bake. After the cake rises the heat may be increased. ANGEL CAKE. The whites of nine large, fresh eggs. When they are partly beaten add one-half teaspoonful of cream of tartar and then finish beating--the cream of tartar makes them lighter--then add one and a quarter cups of granulated sugar, stir the sugar very lightly into the whites of the eggs, and add a teaspoonful of vanilla. Have flour sifted five times, measure a cupful and fold it in very carefully, not with a circular motion, and do not stir long. Turn it into a Turk's head mould and bake forty-five minutes.
