Kettle Cake
Have a large, nice brass kettle ready. Set it on a few warm embers, not with any fire; put into the kettle: 12 eggs. 1 pound sugar. 1 pound butter. A light pound of flour. 1 teaspoonful of mace. Rind and juice of a large lemon. Stir all the materials rapidly, and with a strong, large iron spoon or a long butter-ladle. When it is light, which will be in about three-quarters of an hour, put it in a mould and bake as common pound cake. It is good with 2 pounds currants. 2 pounds raisins. 1/2 pounds citron. 1 glass of brandy.--Mrs. M.C.C.
