Orange Snow and Snowdrift Cake.
4 large sweet oranges, juice of all, and grated peel of one; juice and half the grated peel of 1 lemon; 1 package of gelatine soaked in 1 cup of cold water; whites of 4 eggs, whipped stiff; 1 large cup of powdered sugar; 2 cups of boiling water.
Mix the juice and peel of the fruit with the soaked gelatine, add the sugar, stir well, and leave them for one hour. Pour on boiling water, and stir until clear. Strain, and press through a coarse cloth. When cold, and beginning to congeal, whip a spoonful at a time into the frothed whites. Put into a wet mould. Do this of course on Saturday.
