8 tablespoonfuls of sifted sugar, 5 tablespoonfuls of fine flour, the

almonds to a paste; separate the whites from the yolks of the eggs;

and lemon-rind; add the butter, which should be beaten to a cream; and,
when all these ingredients are well mixed, put in the whites of the
eggs, which should be whisked to a stiff froth. Butter a cake-mould,
put in the mixture, and bake in a good oven from 1¼ to 1¾ hour.
