Rub together one pound sugar, one pound of butter, till perfectly
light. Beat six eggs till very thick, leaving out the whites. Sift one
and a half pound of flour into the eggs, butter, and sugar, one
teaspoonful of mixed spices (cinnamon, mace, and nutmeg), and half a
glass of rose water. Stir the whole well, and roll it on the
paste-board about one-quarter inch thick. Then cut out the cakes and
bake them a few minutes. When cold, spread the surface of each cake
with peach jam or any marmalade. Beat the whites of four eggs very
light, and add enough powdered sugar to make them as thick as icing.
Flavor it with lemon or rose water and with a spoon put it on each
cake, high in the centre. Put the cakes in the oven, and as soon as
they are of a pale brown take them out.--_Mrs. I. H._
