4. A RICH SEED CAKE.

Take a pound and a quarter of flour well dried, a pound of butter, a

pound of loaf sugar, beat and sifted, eight eggs and two ounces of

caraway seeds, one grated nutmeg, and its weight in cinnamon. Beat

the butter into a cream, put in the sugar, beat the whites of the

eggs and the yolks separately, then mix them with the butter and

sugar. Beat in the flour, spices, and seed, a little before sending

it away. Bake it two hours in a quick oven.
