Lemon Cake

Beat one-half pound of powdered sugar together with the yolks of six eggs; when smooth add the whites previously whisked to a stiff froth, then stir in slowly seven or eight tablespoonfuls of flour and the grated peel of a large lemon. Line a cake-tin with buttered paper, pour the mixture in, and bake for one hour in a moderate oven.
