ORANGE CAKE

Separate the whites from the yolks of eggs, then beat the whites and rose water together with a clean whisk for half an hour; then add the sugar and grated rind of the orange; when well mixed add juice of the orange and the yolks of eggs; beat until smooth, then add flour, after putting it through a fine sieve; mix up lightly and put in a deep pan and bake about one hour in a cool oven. Lemon cake may be made the same way by substituting lemons for the oranges.
