Bread Cake

Ingredients

• wheat bread dough
• 1 tea cup full of powdered sugar
• 1 tea-cup full of butter
• 1 tea-cup of warm milk
• 1 beaten egg

Instructions

When you are making wheat bread, and the dough is quite light and ready to bake, take out as much of it as would make a twelve cent loaf, and mix with it powdered sugar, and butter that has been softened and stirred about in the warm milk. Add also the beaten egg. Knead it very well, put it into a square pan, dredged with flour, cover it, and set it near the fire for half an hour. Then bake it in a moderate oven, and wrap it in a thick cloth as soon as it is done. It is best when fresh.
