small bladders. Then add 2 whole eggs, beaten with 2 whites, a little pounded

Emmy's cake.
Pare and cut in 2 a number of apples, scald some plums and remove their kernel
stones and then boil both parts together in strongly sugared water. A big piece
of sugar, quickly dipped in water, must now be put in a wrought iron pan over
the fire to be browned, but carefully guarded against burning. Place the sugar
in a previously heated mould and put on the top the boiled apples and plums,
which cover with beaten eggs. Bake in oven, tip over plate when ready, and serve
with vanilla sauce.
