8.—SPONGE CAKE.
Two cups of fine-powdered sugar, two cups of flour, six eggs, one large lemon, or one and a half of small size; beat the yolks of the eggs and the sugar and grated peel of the lemon together; beat the whites separately, and stir into the sugar, &c., with the flour; this makes one good-sized loaf, or two small ones; be careful and not have too hot an oven.
