"One cup of butter, two of sugar, three of flour, and four eggs." Thus ran the formula that fixed the proportions of "one, two, three, and four cake " in our grandmothers' minds. When we add a cupful of milk and a heaping teaspoonful of Cleveland's Baking Powder we better the recipe.

You may vary it by beating into the batter, alternately with the flour, half a cupful of raisins, seeded and halved, then dredged with flour, or the same quantity of cleaned currants, also floured.
