Almond Cake, Plain

Blanch and pound in a mortar three ounces of sweet almonds and seven or eight bitter almonds. Rub the rind of a lemon upon four ounces of loaf sugar, and pound this with the almonds. Add the yolks of four eggs well beaten, and a piece of butter the size of a walnut. Work in a quarter of a pound of fine flour, and, lastly, the whites of the eggs beaten to a solid froth. Put into a well-buttered mould, and bake in a good oven. Time, three-quarters of an hour. Probable cost, 1s.
