Sponge Cake
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 pound of sifted flour
- 3/4 pound powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoonful baking powder
Directions
Sift the flour and baking powder together and mix the ingredients. Flavor with 1 teaspoonful of lemon extract and add while mixing 2 tablespsonfuls of cold water. If, however, 1 wine glass of rose-water is used in flavoring instead of the lemon extract, or the juice and grated rind of 1 lemon, the water may be omitted. The use of a little liquid serves to make the cake more moist and less liable to dry quickly; add a pinch of salt. Bake in a square tinpan and pour in the mixture no more than an inch deep.
