put in alternately, flour, sugar, and the froth from both whites and yelks,
which must be beaten separately, and only the froth put in. When all are mixed,
and the cake looks very light, add the spice, with half a pint of brandy, the
currants and almonds; butter the mould well, pour in part of the cake, strew
over it some raisins and citron--do this until all is in; set it in a well
heated oven; when it has risen, and the top is coloured, cover it with paper; it
will require three hours baking--it must be iced.
NAPLES BISCUIT.
BEAT twelve eggs light, add to them one pound of flour, and one of powdered
sugar; continue to beat all together till perfectly light; bake it in long pans,
four inches wide, with divisions; so that each cake, when done, will be four
inches long, and one and a half wide.
SHREWSBURY CAKES.
MIX a pound of sugar, with two pounds of flour, and a large spoonful of pounded
coriander seeds; sift them, add three quarters of a pound of melted butter, six
eggs, and a gill of brandy; knead it well, roll it thin, cut it in shapes, and
bake without discolouring it.
LITTLE PLUM CAKES.
PREPARE them as directed for pound cake, add raisins and currants, bake them in
small tin shapes, and ice them.
