yolks need not be
wasted; keep them in a cool place and scramble them. Serve on toast or
with chipped beef.

GOLD CAKE.

After beating to a cream one cup and a half of butter and two cups of
white sugar, stir in the well-whipped yolks of one dozen eggs, four
cupfuls of sifted flour, one teaspoonful of baking powder. Flavor with
lemon. Line the bake-pans with buttered paper and bake in a moderate
oven for one hour.

GOLD OR LEMON CAKE.

Two cups of sugar, half a cup of butter, the yolks of six eggs and one
whole one, the grated rind and juice of a lemon or orange, half a
teaspoonful of soda dissolved in half a cup of sweet milk, four cups
of sifted flour, sifted twice; cream the butter and sugar, then add
the beaten yolks and the flour, beating hard for several minutes.
Lastly, add the lemon or orange and bake, frosting if liked. This
makes a more suitable _lemon_ cake than if made with the white parts
of eggs added.

SNOW CAKE. (Delicious.)

One pound of arrowroot, quarter of a pound of pounded white sugar,
half a pound of butter, the whites of six eggs, flavoring to taste of
essence of almonds, or vanilla, or lemon; beat the butter to a cream;
stir in the sugar and arrowroot gradually, at the same time beating
the mixture; whisk the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth; add them
to the other ingredients and beat well for twenty minutes; put in
which-ever of the above flavorings may be preferred; pour the cake
into a buttered mold or tin and bake it in a _moderate_ oven from one
to one and a half hours. _This is a genuine Scotch recipe_.

MARBLE CAKE.

_White Part._--Whites of four eggs, one cup of white sugar, half a cup
of butter, half a cup of sweet milk, two teaspoonfuls of baking
powder, one teaspoonful of vanilla or lemon and two and a half cups of
sifted flour.

_Dark Part._--Yolks of four eggs, one cup of brown sugar, half a cup
of cooking molasses, half a cup of butter, half a cup of sour milk,
one teaspoonful of ground cloves, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, one
teaspoonful of mace, one nutmeg grated, one teaspoonful of soda, the
soda to be dissolved in a little milk and added after part of the
flour is stirred in, one and a half cups of sifted flour.

Drop a spoonful of each kind in a well-buttered cake-dish, first the
light part, then the dark, alternately. Try to drop it so that the
cake shall be well-streaked through, so that it has the appearance of
marble.
