SPONGE CAKE.
14 eggs.
Weight of 10 in powdered sugar.
Weight of 6 in flour.
Grated rind and juice of 1 lemon.
Beat the yolks of eight eggs very light, then add the sugar and beat
again. Put in the juice and grated rind of a lemon, then the whites of
fourteen eggs beaten to a stiff froth. Beat all together for fifteen
minutes without cessation, stirring in the flour last, barely mixing;
do not beat it. Pour into buttered moulds or shapes and bake in a hot
oven. A large cake will require fully an hour for baking. If it bakes
too fast on top, cover with buttered paper.--_Mrs. S. T._

Beat the whites, beat the yolks and sugar; add the whites, beat well;
add the flour, and after adding it, do not beat it longer than is
required to stir it in; then add the lemon and vinegar, just as you
put it in the tins or moulds.
When the cake is hot, _lemon sauce_ is nice to eat with it.--_Mrs. K._
