COFFEE CAKE:

Six eggs, one-half pound of butter, one pound of sugar, one and one-quarter pounds of fruit, one pint of milk, juice and rind of one lemon, one cent’s worth of yeast. Make the rising the night before, with the milk; work in enough flour
so that a spoon will stand in the mixture. If made in the morning use one teaspoonful of soda and two teaspoonfuls of cream tartar instead of yeast.
