Manx Cake

Rub off the peel from half a large lemon on lumps of sugar; ascertain the weight of sugar, and add as much more of pounded sugar as will make eight ounces in all. Mix the pounded sugar with eight ounces of rice-flour. Beat eight eggs until they are free from stringiness; dissolve the lumps of sugar in the beaten eggs, and mix them gradually with the flour. When these ingredients are well beaten together, bake in a buttered tin. Time, thirty minutes to bake; to beat the eggs, twenty-five to thirty minutes. Probable cost, 1s. 2d. for this quantity.
