Sponge Cake (V)

Mrs. J. H. Mead.

One dozen eggs, ten ounces of flour, one pound fine white sugar ; break the eggs into the sugar, place on the stove and heat till milk warm, then take them off and beat till quite cold; flavour with essence of lemon , stir in the flour very lightly; butter your baking tins and sift sugar all over the bottom and sides ; put in the mixture, sift sugar on the top, and bake in a very moderate oven.
