dissolves. Add the starch slowly to the juice boiling on the fire, stirring it meanwhile

with a spoon. After it has boiled for two minutes and become dissolved and clear, take it off the heat and add the butter, the lemon juice, and the grated peel. Let it cool for five minutes. Then add this mixture by the spoonful to the cakes while they are in their baking dishes, after you have filled each cake with a piece of the canned fruit — apricots, for example. Let the cooked juice fill every empty space in the cake.

Let the cakes with their fruit cool at ordinary temperature until serving time.

Vanilla Cake

Half a cup of butter A cup of sugar Five eggs Two cups of flour Two teaspoons of baking powder One teaspoon of ammonium carbonate. Half a cup of milk and one teaspoon of vanilla essence.

Beat the butter until it whitens, then add two-thirds of the sugar gradually to the butter and beat well. Beat the eggs with the whisk until stiff, add the rest of the sugar to them, and go on beating until the sugar dissolves.

Now add the eggs and sugar to the butter and sugar and stir with a wooden spoon until they are blended together; then gradually fold in the flour, mixed and sifted with the baking powder and the ammonium carbonate, alternating with the milk and the essence. After that grease the pan with a little butter and sprinkle it with a little flour, then turn it over and shake it to remove the excess flour; pour the mixture into it and bake it. After baking, spread the face of the cake with a little jam, blended and beaten with a quarter teaspoon of vanilla essence or with a drop of banana essence; then sprinkle over the face of the cake

some pounded walnuts or toasted, pounded almonds.
