Swiss Cake.

2 tablespoonfuls of butter.

3 gills of sugar.

1/2 pint of milk.

1/2 pint of flour.

1-1/2 teaspoonfuls baking powder.

Flavor to taste.

Measure the butter scantily, and make it soft in a warm bowl. Beat the sugar into it. Have the eggs well beaten, and then beat them with the sugar and butter for five minutes. Add the flavor, then the milk, and finally the flour, in which the baking powder should be mixed. Bake for about twenty-five minutes in a buttered, shallow pan. The cake is to be eaten fresh.
