Delicate Cake

Beat the yolks of five eggs till thick and lemon colored, stir in one cup of granulated sugar, the grated rind of one lemon and one tablespoon of the juice.

Whip the whites of the eggs till quite stiff, add a few tablespoons of the froth to the beaten yolks, then one cup of pastry flour. Fold in the rest of the beaten whites. Bake as a loaf cake in a moderate oven, for nearly an hour.

Cover with a soft boiled icing when the loaf has cooled, and before the icing dries, sprinkle with chopped almonds.- Mrs A. A. Lindeke.
