French Cake

Mix equal quantities of fine flour and ground rice together--half a pound of each. Put these into a bowl, with a pound of finely-sifted sugar, the grated rind of a lemon, and four ounces of sweet, and one of bitter, almonds, pounded together with a table-spoonful of orange-flower water. Beat twelve eggs separately, yolks from whites, and then mix with the above ingredients, until the whole are thoroughly blended. Time, one hour to bake. Probable cost, 2s. 6d.
