Hitherto the recipes given have been for very plain, wholesome cakes. When superior cakes are wanted the following recipe will be found excellent and not expensive : — Gateau Turc with Coffee Icing; — Break four eggs into a basin, and put with them two ounces of white sugar. Have on the fire plenty of boiling water in a pan of such a size that the basin can rest on the top of it. Put the basin over the water, draw the pan back a little way, and whisk the eggs and the sugar till the mixture froths, which it will do in about twenty minutes. Take the basin off the fire and stir in lightly four ounces of Vienna flour. Pour the batter into a cake tin lined with paper, and bake in a good oven. Coffee Icing for this Cake .
