110 BREAD, CAKES, AND BISCUITS.
Cake, Solferino.—Mix 4oz. very finely shredded orange
and lemon peel with 8oz. savarin dough, then with this half
fill a Solferino mould (something like a trois frères border
mould), and let it stand on the stove till the dough rises
and fills the mould completely, then bake in a moderate
oven. Pour over this some apricot sauce, i.e., 3lb. of apricot
jam boiled for a few minutes with a gill of water, then
rubbed through a sieve, and flavoured with any liqueur to
taste. This cake, though delicious as a cake, makes an even
nicer sweet if served with the centre filled with flavoured
whipped cream and a garnish of fruit tossed in syrup,
either hot or cold. The same remark applies to Mexican
and other cakes of the same kind.
