Irresistibles

I sponge cake or layer 1/2 teaspoonful vanilla cake 4 ozs. (1/2 cup) sugar I gill (1/2 cup) ground almonds extract Strawberry jam Whipped and sweetened cream Few chopped nut meats Make and bake a sponge cake or layer cake mixture in a flat, shallow tin; when done, turn it out on a sieve to cool. Mix the sugar and ground almonds; make them into a stiff paste with a very little water flavored with the vanilla extract. Knead this almond paste on a board dusted with sugar and roll out carefully. Cut it out in rounds with a crinkly cutter, then cut out the cake with the same cutter. Slice these pieces of cake into pieces one-fourth of an inch thick. Take one of these pieces, spread it over with a thin layer of strawberry jam, place on this one of the rounds of almond paste, then add another layer of jam and another piece of cake. Top with whipped and sweetened cream and a few chopped nut meats.

Irresistibles are well named and are favorites.
