Apple Creamcake

For 4 or 5 cakes for a hotel supper take: 3 pounds of flour--12 cupfuls. 2 pounds of butter or lard--4 cupfuls. 2 teaspoonfuls of salt. 1 quart of ice water. More flour to dust with.

Rub the butter into the flour dry between the hands. Use salt only when lard is employed for shortening. Make a hollow, pour in the water, mix up soft, and roll out on the table.

It makes the cake flaky and part in layers to roll it and fold it a few times like pie paste.

Roll out as thick as biscuit at last and bake on jelly cake pans. Split them open, spread apple cream thickly between and powdered sugar on top.
