Sponge Cake

Two cups of sifted flour, one and a half cups of pulverized sugar, a half cup of cold water, two tablespoons of lemon juice, two teaspoons of baking powder, four eggs. Beat the yolks, add sugar, half to yolks and half to whites; when both have been well beaten, stir gently together and then add water and flour.

Do not beat, and bake till the cake leaves the side of the pan. This is the "invalid's own," and is very good, no matter how dry it becomes.
