Four Whites of Eggs (Juice of two Lemons)

The juice of two Lemons.

Rub the sugar through a hair-sieve into a basin, make a well in the sugar and pour in the whites of eggs and lemon-juice, work these all well together with a wooden spoon until quite soft. Put two layers of this icing with a knife, you must dip the knife in water from time to time to prevent it sticking. The third layer must be clear icing made thus: One pound of loaf sugar, half a pint of water boiled together for fifteen to twenty minutes and reduced to a syrup. Stir in a basin till nearly cold and pour over the cake.

When this is dry, ornament with the first icing through a forcer.
