When the little cook has learned to follow the foregoing recipes so that

she understands all the details of mixing and is able to make nice light

cakes, let her some time try the following, which by using the whites

for a delicate cake and the yolks for a gold cake, will give her two

choice cakes without extra expense. After bringing to the table, when

ready to begin, the sugar can, the butter jar, the egg dish, the milk,

the vanilla and the baking powder, so that everything will be

convenient, and having well greased a pan for the gold cake (which will

be baked in a loaf) and the two jelly tins for the white cake, she can

then separate three eggs, and to the three yolks add one whole egg. On

account of the baking it is best to make the white cake first, and then

it can be iced and the dishes cleaned away while the loaf cake bakes.
