4 tablespoonfuls Crisco
2 lemons
3/4 cupful sugar
4 yolks of eggs
1 white of egg
1/4 teaspoonful salt
_For cake._ Put the eggs, sugar, and lemon rind into basin, stand it
over pan of boiling water, and beat until warm; then remove from hot
water, and continue beating until mixture is stiff and cold; then add
flour mixed with baking powder and salt, and pass through sieve, add
Crisco melted but cool, taking care to stir very gently, but on no
account beat it. Divide mixture into two small Criscoed and floured
layer cake tins, and bake ten minutes in moderately hot oven. Turn out
and cool, then put together with lemon filling.
_For filling._ Beat up eggs in saucepan, add Crisco, salt, grated
rinds and strained lemon juice. Stir with wooden spoon over gentle
heat until mixture just comes to boiling point. When cold use.
Sufficient for one layer cake.
