Very Old Cake
Dear Aunt Daisy, Here is a hint I thought might be of | use to you. I had a large piece of my | wedding cake left, and through unsuitable storing, it was completely inedible. It tasted of new paint, leather, kerosene, etc.! Rather than waste it, I tried to put it to some use. I removed all the icing, | crumbled the cake in small pieces, added | essence of rum, brandy, vanilla (I sup-| pose the real thing would be hetter still), a teaspoon of baking powder and enough hot milk to make it a fairly soft | consistency; put it in a basin and) steamed for about 1 to 114% hours. Re- | sult: The best steamed pudding I ever | made, according to my husband and | family. The cake wes over four vears | old! "Maria of Queensberry." |
