Cabinet Pudding

Thickly butter a melon mold; sprinkle bottom and sides with mixed nut meats, raisins, currants and chopped citron. Fill the mold loosely with small pieces of stale cake, sprinkling more fruit through it. Make a raw custard with 3 eggs, I tablespoonful of sugar, a pinch of salt and I pint of milk. Pour this over the cake, lifting now and then with a fork that the custard may be equally absorbed. Stand in a kettle of boiling water, cover closely and steam for an hour.

Serve with a wine or foamy sauce.
