Raspberry Sponge

Soak three-quarters of an ounce of gelatine in a little cold water for an hour. Dissolve it, and mix with it a quarter of a pint of raspberry-juice made either from jam or from the fresh fruit. Add half a pint of cream, half a pint of milk, the strained juice of a lemon, and as much sugar as is agreeable to the palate. Whisk the mixture in one direction until it thickens and looks like sponge, pour it into a damp mould, and turn it out when it is stiff. Time, half an hour or more to whisk the sponge. Probable cost, 2s. Sufficient for a quart mould.
