VICTORIA CAKE (another way)

Rub the rind of two fresh lemons with sugar till the yellow part is taken off, crush the lumps to powder, and add as much powdered sugar as will make up the quantity to half a pound. Whisk the whites of three eggs to froth, stir in the sugar, and afterwards the beaten yolks of six eggs. Last of all, work in gradually and very thoroughly seven ounces of dried flour. Line a tin mould with buttered paper, pour in the batter, and bake the cake in a moderately-heated oven. When it is lightly brown, and when a skewer pushed into it will come out clean and dry, it is done enough. Probable cost, 1s. 6d.
