with some prune juice—indeed, a mashed up prune or two can often

be worked in with the cheese. Cut in squares and serve as a second
dessert. Yield for 2 desserts: 20 squares.

CREAMY JELLY ROLL

Temperature: 400°F. Time: 13 minutes

4 eggs 34 cup sifted cake flour
34 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon lemon juice

14 teaspoon salt 14 teaspoon grated lemon
34 cup white sugar rind

Break the eggs into a mixing bowl; add the baking powder and
the salt. Set the bowl in a pan of hot water; beat the mixture until
light and fluffy. Gradually add the sugar, beating well until the
sugar is dissolved. Remove the bowl from the hot water; fold in
the flour which has been sifted three times. Add the lemon juice
and rind; turn into a shallow jelly roll pan 9” x 13” which has been
lined with waxed paper. Bake in a fairly hot oven. As soon as the
cake is taken from the oven, turn out on a tea towel dusted with
powdered sugar. Remove the paper, trim the edges and roll up
quickly and carefully. Cool slightly; unroll. Spread with cream
filling and again roll up in a clean towel. Let cool before slicing.
Yield: 12 slices.

LEMON CAKE
Temperature: 375°F. Time: 35-40 minutes
4 cup shortening 3 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup white sugar l4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind \4 cup cold water
2 eggs, separated 14 cup lemon juice

2 cups sifted cake flour

Cream together the shortening, 34 cup sugar and the lemon
rind. Add the well beaten egg yolks. Add the sifted dry ingre-
dients alternately with a mixture of the cold water and lemon
juice. Stiffly beat the egg whites; add the reserved 14 cup of sugar
and beat again. Fold into the cake batter. Pour into a square pan
8” x 8" lined with waxed paper. Bake until done. Let stand in the
pan for 5 minutes. Invert on a cooling rack; remove the paper and
dust lightly with icing sugar. A delicious variation with this cake is
to split it, fill it with lemon butter and put together again. Cut in
squares; spread each square lightly with lemon filling and roll in
shredded coconut. Yield: 12-16 pieces.
