Pound Cake Recipe

Mix a pound of sugar with three-quarters of a pound of butter. When

worked white, stir in the yelks of eight eggs, beaten to a froth, then

the whites. Add a pound of sifted flour, and mace or nutmeg to the

taste. If you wish to have your cake particularly nice, stir in, just

before you put it into the pans, a quarter of a pound of citron, or

almonds blanched, and powdered fine in rosewater.
