Quick and Simple Desserts. & uralist Sponge cake is a standard article at our house, and during the winter there is always fruit cake on hand in the big jar kept for that purpose. This fruit cake may be the rich loaf cake good enough for bride's cake, or it may be that economical, but good cake, made with chopped salt pork and dried apples for fruit. This latter is very good indeed, and when we add a cup of jelly, a pint of cherries cooked down in sugar and some juice from the sweet pickled peaches, or a bottle of grape juice, we have a very good article. Moreover, this cake | Serve warm. can be made up before the hens lay | off for winter, and will be nice for months. Sliced sponge cake slightly toasted on one side and made into sandwich | form, with whipped cream, flavored | |you have about the best dessert of and sweetened, is also very nice. Have toasted side of cake out. With the above on hand unexpected company need not go dessertless, or the housewife fret over the absence of pie. Thin slices of fruit cake are always ready for tea. For dinner, cut slices one-half inch thick, lay on a plate and steam fitteen minutes, serving with any one of a number of nice sauces, from sweetended and thickened fruit juice to whipped cream. Or, lay one-half of a canned peach, or pear, on each piece of cake—be- fore dishing sauce. Slices of sponge cake baked with a custard, slices of sponge cake placed around sides of pudding dish and a filling of apple sauce and alternate layers of cake then baked slowly half an hour, ale olso very good. Sponge cake served plain with jellied apples with or with cream, is very good. And, finally, save every crumb of cake, sponge or otherwise, and when you have a cup or more, according to | size os family, add couple, of eggs, some milk and spices and bake and them all. ae Butler Christain Chureh.
