Ingredients
- six square sponge cakes
- one pint of milk
- three tablespoonfuls of sugar
- one half cupful of almonds
- half pint of whipped cream
- two six square sponge cakes
- one third brandy
- three eggs
Directions
Slice in two six square sponge cakes (layer cake cut in squares will do), spread with jam or jelly (a tart jelly is best), and put them together like sandwiches. Moisten them in a mixture of one third brandy and two thirds sherry. Put them in a glass dish, and pour over them a custard made of one pint of milk, three eggs, and three tablespoonfuls of sugar; put together as directed for boiled custard No. 2 (page 395). Blanch and cut in fine strips one half cupful of almonds, and stick them into the top cakes standing upright. Cover all with a half pint of whipped cream, and sprinkle the top with hundreds and thousands (see page 393), or with colored sugar (see page 393).
