Sponge Cake

Ingredients

• 10 eggs
• 2 1/2 cupfuls of sugar
• 2 1/2 cupfuls of pastry flour
• juice and grated rind of 1 lemon

Instructions

Beat the yolks and sugar together until very light. Add the lemon. Beat the whites to a stiff froth. Stir the flour and this froth alternately into the beaten yolks and sugar.

Have the batter about three inches deep in the pan. Sprinkle with sugar, and bake three-quarters of an hour in a moderate oven. If the batter is not so deep in the pan it will not take so long to bake.
