Beat it well, put it in buttered tins, an inch thick, in a quick oven, and when done, frost it, and cut it in square pieces.
Cocoanut Sponge Cake.
One grated cocoanut, the outer part peeled off.
A teaspoonful of salt, and half a grated nutmeg.
A pint of sifted white sugar.
Six eggs, the yolks beat and strained, the whites cut to a stiff froth.
One teaspoonful of essence of lemon.
A half a pint of sifted flour.
Mix the yolks and the sugar, and then the other ingredients, except the whites and the flour. Just as you are ready to put the cake in the oven, put in the whites, then add the flour by degrees, and stir only just enough to mix it; then put it on buttered paper in cake pans, and set it in. Have a quick oven, but take care not to have the top harden quick. Cover with paper if there is any danger.
