One cup of raisins stoned and chopped, one cup
of butter chopped, two cups and a half of flour, one
cup of Porto Rico molasses, one cup of sweet milk, a

mon, and a little nutmeg. Steam in a mould two
hours. Serve hot with a sauce.

SPONGE CAKE MERINGUE.

Butter -well a pudding dish, cover the bottom
with slices of stale sponge cake about an inch thick,
fit closely together. Beat the yolks of three eggs
with three teaspoonfuls of granulated sugar, add the
grated rind of half and the juice of one orange, the
juice of half a small lemon, two tablespoonfuls of
melted butter and stir in soda as large as a pea into
a cup and a half of milk, add this to the orange and
egg and stir well together. Pour three-quarters of
this mixture over the cake, set the dish in a pan of
boiling water in the oven, and when the cake has
absorbed the custard and no longer floats, add the
remainder of the custard. While the pudding is bak-
ing make a meringue of three -whites of eggs beaten
to a stiff froth and three-quarters of a cup of granu-
lated sugar, flavor with the grated rind of half an
orange and a few drops of orange extract. Spread
quickly over the pudding and bake fifteen minutes.
