EASY SPONGE CAKE.

MRS. BLAIR.

Four eggs, two even cups of sugar, three-fourth's cup hot water, one and three fourth's cups of flour, even measure, two teaspoonfuls baking powder, salt, flavor with lemon. Beat the eggs separately. To the yolks gradually add the sugar. Mix well. Then add hot water. Mix the baking powder with the flour and add a portion, then part of the well beaten whites, and so on until all is used. Flavor. It will be thin but do not add any more flour, for it is all right. Bake in a moderate oven. It may be baked very thin, cut into shapes like dominos; frost, and mark the lines and dots with a camel's hair brush dipped in chocolate.
