POTATO CAKE, SWEET (another way)

Take a quarter of a pound of boiled potatoes, dry and floury, and beat them to flour. Mix with this one ounce of ground rice, an ounce of sweet almonds and four bitter ones blanched and pounded together, and three ounces of sugar rubbed upon a fresh lemon for a few minutes to extract the flavour and then crushed to powder. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly, and stir into them the well-beaten yolks of five eggs. Beat the mixture for five or six minutes, and add the whites of the eggs beaten to a firm froth. Turn the paste into a well-buttered tin, and bake in a brisk oven for about forty minutes. Probable cost, 9d. Sufficient for a small cake.
