Sand Cake

Take half a pound of butter and stir it to a cream, then add the yolks of twelve eggs and the peel of half a lemon, grated. Add to this preparation by degrees a quarter of a pound of fine flour, a quarter of a pound of potato-flour, and half a pound of sifted sugar. When these ingredients are thoroughly incorporated add the whites of the eggs whipped to a snow. Stir well, and bake in a moderate oven. The sand cake will be made considerably richer by adding half a wine-glassful of rum or brandy and the whole of a grated lemon-peel.
