Directions
MARBLE CAKE (2).
J lb. butter lb. sugar eggs
1 teaspoonful (level) cream of tartar
i lb. flour
i teaspoonful carbonate of soda
J small teacupful of milk
Beat the butter and sugar to a cream, add the eggs one by one and beat them well in. Sift the carbonate of soda and cream of tartar with the flour; add the milk to the butter mixture and then stir the flour lightly in. Put half this mixture into a well-buttered tin (a rather flat cake tin, about 7 or 8 inches in diameter, is best for this cake), then divide the remain- ing mixture into two portions — dissolve two teaspoonfuls of cocoa in a tablespoonful of cold water. Stir it thoroughly into one of the remaining portions and flavour with vanilla. Colour the third portion with carmine or cochineal and flavour with lemon essence. Now with a tablespoon put large spoonful on to the cake mixture in the tin and stir once or twice lightly in. Bake in a moderate oven for 30 or 40 minutes until quite cooked.
