1 quart of water. 2 1/2 cups sugar. 1 1/2 cups raspberry-juice, strained. Prepare like lemon ice.
Peach Surprise
1 quart of peaches cut up in small bits. 2 cups of sugar. Whites of five eggs.
Do not beat the eggs at all; just mix everything together and put in the freezer and stir till stiff; this is very delicious, and the easiest thing to make there is.
When Margaret wanted to make her own freezer full of ice-cream, she just took a cup of cream and heated it with the sugar, and when it was cold put in three drops of vanilla and froze it.
CAKE
Next after the ices in her book, Margaret found the cake to eat with them, and first of all there was a rule for some little cakes which the smallest girl in the neighborhood used to make all alone.
Eleanor's Cakes
1/4 cup of butter. 1/2 cup of sugar. 1/4 cup of milk. 1 egg. 1 cup flour. 1 teaspoonful baking-powder. 1/2 teaspoonful of vanilla.
Rub the butter and sugar to a cream, beat the egg light without separating, and put it in next; then the milk, a little at a time; mix the baking-powder with the flour and stir in, and last the vanilla. Bake in small scalloped tins, and fill each one only half-full.
