Albert Cake

Take the yolks of twelve eggs and the whites of two, and beat them up with ten ounces of pounded sugar and eight ounces of finely-chopped almonds, for twenty minutes. Whisk the remaining whites of the eggs, and mix with them six ounces of flour, two ounces of finely-shred candied orange-peel, a tea-spoonful of cinnamon powder, half a tea-spoonful of ground cloves, and a little grated lemon-rind. Mix all thoroughly together, pour out the batter into a convenient sized mould, and bake in an oven with a moderate heat for about an hour. When done, and sufficiently cold, cut into thin slices ready for serving. Probable cost, 2s. 6d. Sufficient for a quart mould.
