Scovomics epartrnept : r' t?r S i e"7s -Cf' fPt J-'- -a " -I Sponge Cake Perhaps some of my readers won dered when the subject of cakes was trested that sponge cakes did not follow butter cakes. At the time eggs were ajtry high and we had hopes that the prices would sink to normal as soon as spring came. Well, spring hss arrived, but we no longer have hopes of any prices falling in this year ol terrible costs. Ana we do indulge in sponge cakes occasionally, especially in the. kinds of cakes suited to these H. C. of L. days. A Sponge cake is expensive when one consid ers just the nutritive value; but -if you stop to think that it is a very diges tible food, so that it is well assimi lated, and that it makes a most de sirable dessert at the end of a heavy meal or is delicious with a very rich ice cream, for light refreshments, its expense is somewhat offset by its other advantages. Now that the strawberry season is approaching, the shortcake looms up before us. The traditional shortcake is of biscuit dough, but an equally delicious cake is made with a sponge cake foundation. If we compare the two in every respect we find that the biscuit dough costs about 18 cents and gives approximately 2,000 calories, or units of food value, while a sponge cake (using the cheapest recipe given below), costs about 22 cents, and gives only 1,500 calories. But the sponge cake is far more digestible and equally attractive in appearance and navor. The old fashioned sponge cake recipe called for many more eggs than the average housewife can afford nowadays, and more than any house wife ought to afford at present; the newer recipes lessen the number' of eggs and add baking powder. The method of making is the same in all cases, and the baking is similar. The Cooperation. Readers are cordially invited to ask Miss Gross any questions about household economy upon which she may possibly give help ful advice; they are also invited to give suggestions from their expe rience that may be helpful to others meeting the same problems. 1 T. lemon Jules Few grains salt. more eggs used the finer the grsin of the cake will be; but a four-egg cake, such as given below, makes a very good texture indeed. The cheap, est cake, the two-egg cake, is the most difficult for the amateur to make, as it may be coarse, but it is really satisfactory. OLD-FASHIONED SPONGE CARE. S eggs. 1 c. sugar. 1 c. flour. Beat the egg yolks till thick and lemon-colored, add sugar gradually and continue beating. This first part of the process should be thoroughly done. Add lemon juice, then fold in egg whites, which have been beaten till stiff with the salt. Be very careful in folding in the egg whites that ss few of the cells as possible are broken. Lastly fold in the sifted flour, mixing very gently, and do not stir at all after the last bit of flour has dis appeared irom view. Bake in an un greased floured pan. The oven should be moderate, time forty-five minutes for a loaf, twanty to twenty-five min utes for small cakes. This recipe will make one large loaf or two loaves the size of ordinary bread tins. A circular tin with a funnel in the cen ter is good because it prevents the possibility of the cake being soggy in the middle. When the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan before re moving. The pan should be inverted if possible, but it must be inverted so the top of the cake does not touch a solid surtace. 1 he air should cir culate underneath. FOl B-ECC SPONGE CARE. eggs. 1 T. lemon Juice. 1 c. sugar. H e. het water. 1 e. flour. Few trains aalt. 1 t. baking powder. Proceed as above. Sift the flour and baking powder together. Add the hot water with the lemon juice. TWO-EGG SPONGE CAKE. I ogee. Few grains salt. I c. flour. 4 e. hot milk. I e. sugar. 1 t. butter. I t. baking powder. 1 T. Ismon Juice. Proceed as above, adding the butter dissolved in the hot milk at the end. This is the most successful recipe for a cneap sponge cake that 1 have ever found. It was published under the name of the chef of the Morrison hotel in Chicago. Possibilities of Sponge Cake. Shortcake Sponge cake may be baked in two or three layers and put together with any kind of fruit or jam between. Whipped cream or .neringue on top makes a fancy des sert. Individual shortcakes are attrac tive. Neapolitan Baskets Hollow out in dividual cakes, fill with fruit and whipped cream. Make basket handles of angelica. Garnish with cherries. Confection Delicieux Slice the top off of a sponge loaf, carefully remove the inside, leaving a hollow box. Line the box with jelly or jam, fill it with whipped cream; replace the top and ice with any desired frosting, garnish ing with nuts or cherries. This cake should be prepared shortly before serving, but if filled with charlotte tusse mixture it may be. made ahead of time. The whipped cream may be flavored as desired.

Shape with a floured doughnut cutter. Fry in deep fat and drain on brown paper. Baked Ham. A baked ham is said to keep much longer and is more delicious than a boiled one. The ham should be first soaked twelve hours previous to cooking, and then wiped dry. Stick cloves into the ham, an inch apart. Make a coarse paste of flour and water and cover the ham with this, taking care that it is of suf ficient thicknes- to keep in all the flavor and gravy. Place in a large pan and bake in a moderate oven for about four hours. Take off the crust, remove the skin, and cover the ham with finely powdered bread crumbs. Return to the oven and brown.

Beat in the flour which has been muted and sifted with the salt and baking powder. Then add the peanuts which have been run through the coarse knife of a food cutter. Let rise twenty minutes in a warm place, then bake one hour in a moderate oven. This is delicious for sand wiches. Chantilly Potatoes. Prepare mashed potatoes in the usual way, adding a half tablespoon ful of finely chopped parsley. Beat until light and fluffy and pile in the center of a hot serving dish. Beat a half cupful of heavy cream until stiff, add a half cupful of grated cheese and season with salt, pepper and a bit of cayenne. Spread this over the pota toes and place in the oven until deli cately browned. Mothers' Magazine.
