Record Cakes

Beat together to a cream a quarter of a pound of butter and three-quarters of a pound of sugar; sift one pound of flour and one and a half tea-spoonfuls of baking-powder; beat the yolks of eight eggs into the butter and sugar with a wooden spoon; whisk the whites to a stiff froth and stir gently in: stir in the flour and baking-powder quickly and lightly; add a gill of cream flavoured with rose-water, stirring it into the flour, etc. Take three ounces of pistachio kernels and two ounces of crystallised cherries, chop them, and mix them with the other ingredients. Have ready some buttered patty-tins, place a spoonful of the mixture in each, and bake ten or fifteen minutes. Probable cost, 2s. for this quantity.
