Cake Syllabub

Moisten well a thin sponge cake with sherry wine; then rub off on pieces of loaf sugar the yellow rind of two lemons; dissolve this sugar in one pint of sweet cream; add the juice of the lemons to a little more sugar; then add gradually to the cream. Whip the cream until solid; then pile it on the cake, which has been put in a glass bowl. Pile the cream until it stands high above the edge of bowl. Ornament the top with strawberries or bits of solid fruit jelly. This makes a very pretty as well as a delicious dish.
