SAND CAKE (another way)

Take half a pound of fine flour, a quarter of a pound of potato-flour, half a pound of warmed butter, a quarter of a pound of sifted sugar, six eggs, and the rind and juice of a lemon. Mix these ingredients thoroughly, and bake in a moderate oven. When the cake is three-parts done, draw it gently to the mouth of the oven, and strew the following quickly over it: Two or three ounces of almonds cut small and mixed with one tea-spoonful of powdered cinnamon and two ounces of powdered sugar. Place the cake back in the oven to finish baking, taking care that the almonds on the top do not become too brown.
