times. Beat the whites of 11 eggs to a very stiff froth, and add a little salt
to the beaten whites; then add sugar and flavoring and beat thoroughly. Stir the

jelly.
16. Jelly for Filling. Shave 2 ounces of chocolate, and add to 1 cupful of

tablespoonful of cornstarch dissolved in water, and 1 teaspoonful of vanilla.
When nearly cool spread between the layers and cover the top and sides.
17. Roll Jelly Cake. 1 cupful of sugar, 3 eggs, 1 tablespoonful of butter, 1
tablespoonful of warm water, a little salt, 1 cupful of flour, and 1 teaspoonful
of baking powder. Sift flour and baking powder together, beat the yolks of the
eggs, add the sugar and water and beat hard. Beat the whites of the eggs until
