50. Apple Cake. For the dough take 3/4 pound of flour, 1/2 pound of freshened
butter, 3 ounces of sifted sugar, 1 egg, 2 spoonfuls of water, 2 spoonfuls of
rum, good apples, wine, sugar, lemon peel and whole cinnamon.
Stir the butter to a cream, then add sugar, egg, rum, water and flour, stir all
for a short time, put into a cake pan, and with a flat wooden ladle press out
the dough, having it a little thicker on the sides so as to form an edge;
sprinkle some grated bread over the bottom. In the meantime cook thickly sliced
apples in wine, sugar, lemon peel and whole cinnamon until half done, and after
they are cold lay them neatly on the cake and bake to a golden--not
brown--color. Boil down the juice until quite thick, and when the cake is served
pour it over the apples.

Over each layer put sugar, pieces of butter and a little fruit jelly. Then bake

a dish. Then make the dough, which can be moulded immediately without being
first set aside. To do this put it into the mould in pieces and press it with
the hands (which should be dusted with flour) uniformly all around, a little
thicker at the sides, however, so as to make the edge about 11/2 inches high;
