Porcupine Cake
Dear Aunt Daisy, I would very much like to know if any of our "Daisy Chain" can oblige with a recipe for porcupine cake. It is made with % Ib. wine biscuits, and I happened to lose the recipe some time ago. So I’m hoping someone may be able to supply it. "M.A.S.," Westfield. Here is our porcupine,cake, but it is made with lady-fingers instead of wine biscuits, and is quite a rich luxury cake. Perhaps someone else may have a simpler one than this: Cream Y2 Ib. butter and 1 large cup icing sugar. Beat 6 egg yolks, 1 tablespoon strong coffee, \% teaspoon vanilla. Add this gradually to creamed mixture. Place one-third of this mixture on cake dish, arrange in oblong shape and cover with 12 ladyfingers. Place rest of mixture on top, smoothing all to resemble cake. Split 1% Ib, salted almonds, and stick in top of cake as closely together as possible, points upwards. Place in ice chest 6 hours or more. Cut in squares to serve.
