LEMON CAKE.

[Illustration: CAKE-MOULD.]

_Ingredients._—10 eggs, 3 tablespoonfuls of orange-flower water, ¾

lb. of pounded loaf sugar, 1 lemon, ¾ lb. of flour. _Mode._—Separate

the whites from the yolks of the eggs; whisk the former to a stiff

froth; add the orange-flower water, the sugar, grated lemon-rind, and

mix these ingredients well together. Then beat the yolks of the eggs,

and add them, with the lemon-juice, to the whites, &c.; dredge in the

flour gradually; keep beating the mixture well; put it into a buttered

mould, and bake the cake about an hour, or rather longer. The addition

of a little butter, beaten to a cream, we think, would improve this

cake. _Time._—About 1 hour. _Average cost_, 1_s._ 4_d._ _Seasonable_ at

any time.
