Cakes, Scones, Biscuits, Etc

Oven, in the book's wordsA quick oven

Ingredients

45 cherries
other small preserved fruits
greengages
slices of candied fruits

Directions

The book says “a quick oven”. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

Cut the cherries and other small preserved fruits in half.
Bake in a 400°F (200°C) oven.
If making two flat cakes, place one on top of the other with slices of candied fruits in between like a sandwich.

Recipe from a historical cookbook (Internet Archive).
