One heaping cup of sugar; one large tablespoonful of butter; two eggs; one-half cup of milk; two cups of Sperry Flour (or enough to make a nice, thick, soft batter); one teaspoonful of cream of tartar; one-half teaspoonful of soda. This will make three layers, if the pan is not too large. Filling for layers: Two large apples (greenings are the best, or any tart apples); peel and grate; then grate one lemon peel; squeeze juice and grate the pulp; to this add one cup of sugar and one white of egg; put all into a tin cup and cook thoroughly. Then spread between cake as jelly cakes.
