Cold-Water Sponge Cake

The accompanying recipe is a slight variation from the true sponge cake, for it contains leavening other than eggs and a small amount of cold water. No difficulty will be experienced in making a cake according to this recipe if the directions are carefully followed.

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• rind and juice of 1 lemon
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 cups flour

Instructions

Beat the eggs until they are thick and lemon-colored. Add the sugar gradually and continue beating. Grate the yellow part from the lemon rind and add it with the juice. Pour in the cold water, continuing to beat. Sift in the baking powder with the flour and add to the egg mixture. Pour into a sponge-cake pan and bake.
