Savoy Cake

INGREDIENTS. -7 eggs, the weight of 4 in pounded loaf sugar, the weight of all in flour, a little grated lemonrind, essence of almonds, or orange-flower water. AVERAGE COST, 10d.

Break the eggs, putting the yolks into one basin and the whites into another, Whisk the former, and mix with them the sugar, the grated lemonrind, or any other flavouring to taste; beat them well together and add the whites of the eggs, whisked to a froth.

Put in the flour by degrees, continuing to beat the mixture for 1/4 hour, butter a mould, pour in the cake, and bake it from 1 to 1 hour. This is a very nice cake, and it may be iced for a supper table, or cut into slices and spread with jam, which converts it into sandwiches.
