BOSTON CREAM CAKE.

MRS. JOHN MACNAUGHTON.

Boil one quarter pound butter in one half pint of water. Stir in while boiling six ounces of flour. Take from the fire and stir in gradually (when it has cooled a few minutes) five eggs well beaten. Add one quarter teaspoon soda and a little salt. Above recipe makes about two dozens cakes. They must be baked from twenty minutes to half an hour. Be sure to let them bake enough. Do not think them burning unless you see them doing so.
