Othello Cake II
Crack.
Part two of the Othello Cake: the middle layer. We have incited a debate in this household as to whether this layer is a Macaroon or a Macaron…take your pick. Constance says the important thing is to successfully separate two eggs and save the yolks for tomorrow. Beat the whites until very stiff. In a separate bowl, mix 2/3 cup of ground peeled almonds, 1/3 cup of icing sugar and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Stir the almond mixture into the beaten egg whites, and spread this mixture in a 9-inch cake pan which has been lined with a circle of baking parchment. Bake for between 15 and 20 minutes at 350 degrees f.
Cool the macaro(o)n and save along with the sponge cake layers…a few more things to prepare….

Quimper Hittys 
Mmmm. I vote for macaron, but not necessarily for any good reason. If the Hitty’s settle their debate and come to an answer, I would like to know what it is.
And the Argentinian Hittys think it is macar-r-rón with a rolled “r”.
This is fun. Constance’s table and chair are just the right size, and are very cute!
The chair used to be in my mother’s orange crate dollhouse when she was little. I made the little table and painted it to match. That was when I only had one Hitty!
Watch out Hitty, that’s an enormous and precarious egg!
All the better to make human-sized cake with!
I think my hittys would like Macaroon. Whatever the girls decide, it will be just great.
“A macaroon by any other name would taste just as sweet” to paraphrase another Shakespeare play…
