ICED CHERRY CAKE
FOR CHILDREN'S BIRTHDAY
All children like to have their very own cake; on their -birthday. Here is a recipe for a simple cherry cake which can be prettily iced and decorated. Cream together six ounces each of butter and castor sugar. Sift 12oz of flour and mix it.with 4oz of roughlychopped'glace cherries and the grated rind of a fresh lemon.
Add the flour to the butter, alternately with four well-beaten eggs, beating thoroughly after each addition. A little milk may also be required to keep the mixture fairly moist. Stir in, last of all, a small teaspoonful of baking powder and bake about two hours in a lined tin in a moderate oven.
Ice the cake, when.cold, with lemonflavoured icing and arrange half glace cherries at intervals round the top edge, with a short "stalk" of angelica on either side of each one. The child's name or a birthday wish can be written" in the centre of the cake with pink icing, or either of these could be formed of quartered cherries.
