Cocoanut Pound Cake

Put half a pound of butter into a basin, warm and beat to a cream, mix in one pound of caster-sugar and the grated rind of one lemon, a cupful of mik and four eggs beaten separately. When these are mixed, add two teaspoonfuls of bicarbonate of soda and sufficient flour to make the mixture of the required consistence; mix in the grated white of a cocoanut, put in a sharp oven, and bake for half an hour.
