Two pounds of sugar, 1 pound lard or butter, 6 eggs, ⅙ ounce ammonia, 2¼ pounds flour, and some lemon flavor. Put sugar and lard in the bowl and break up like pie crust. Next add the eggs, a few at a time. Be careful not to cream it. Take the ammonia with a few drops of lemon flavor and make a smooth paste. Mix lightly. Put in canvas bag and with star tube lay out on dusted pans. Put in oven to bake in a heat of 400 degrees F. When baked and while still hot put a little chocolate icing on top. Sold at one cent each, or 6 for five cents. These cakes will keep moist for six or seven weeks, without getting mouldy. The longer they lay the better they taste and the softer they keep.
Sa Voy Jumble No. 2.
One and one-half pounds brown sugar, 7 ounces of lard or butter, 8 eggs, ⅓ ounce soda, ⅔ ounce cream of tartar, 2 pounds of cake flour. Put sugar, lard and eggs into the bowl together and mix very lightly to a smooth paste. Next add the soda with a little mace. Mix together. Finally add the flour and cream of tartar. Lay out with canvas bag and plain tube on clean pan without dusting. Sprinkle some cinnamon or chopped almonds on top, then turn pan upside down, so the unused pieces of almond will drop off again. Bake in same heat as Sa Voy No. 1.
Vanilla Jumble No. 1.
Five pounds of powdered sugar, 4¼ pounds lard or butter, 18 eggs, some vanilla flavoring, ⅔ ounce ammonia, 7½ pounds of flour. Break sugar and lard up, same as for pie crust, slowly adding the eggs, few at a time, till used up. Next add the flavoring, powder the ammonia good and fine and mix together. Lastly add the flour. These jumbles must be pounded out with a jumble apparatus, because the dough is too hard to be forced out with bag and star tube. Baked in heat of 420 degrees F. When baked, and while still hot, wash over with hot water icing. One cent each, or 6 for five cents.
