Sponge Cake Recipe

Take seven eggs, leaving out three whites; beat them well with a whisk;

then take three quarters of a pound of lump-sugar beat fine: put to it a

quarter of a pint of boiling water, and pour it to the eggs; then beat

it half an hour or more; when you are just going to put it in the oven,

add half a pint of flour well dried. You must not beat it after the

flour is in. Put a paper in the tin. A quick oven will bake this

quantity in an hour. It must not be beaten with a spoon, as it will make

it heavy.
