Spice Cake

Raisins and currants should be chopped, or cut up fine. Citron will cut up more easily if first softened by steaming over hot water. Part of flour must be reserved to sift over fruit, which should be well beaten in, before stiff egg whites are folded in. Bake in loaf or tube pan, in very moderate oven, for about 50 minutes. It is usually well to line pan with several thicknesses of greased paper. 2 eggs 7 cup sugar Grated rind of lemon
