No. 1529 — A Pudding Resembling Sponge Cake
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 1529 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Cream half a Russian pound of the best butter until pale. Separately cream four yolks with half a pound of sugar.
Add half a pound of flour and a flavouring of choice, combine all ingredients and transfer to a buttered, breadcrumb-dusted mould.
Bake in the oven; the original gives no baking time.
