Separate the whites from the yolks of the eggs; whisk the former to a stiff froth. add the orange-flower water, the sugar grated lemon-rind and mix these ingre dients well together. Then beat the yolks of the eggs and add them, with the lemonjuice, to the whites, &c.; dredge in the flour gradually; keep beating the mixture well; put it into a buttered mould and bake the cake about an hour, or rather longer. The addition of a little butter beaten to a cream, we think, would improve this cake.
