Sponge Cake with Potato Flour

The accompanying recipe for sponge cake contains honey for part of the sweetening, both the yolks and the whites of the eggs, and potato flour. When sugar and wheat flour are scarce, this is a very good cake to make.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 5 eggs
• grated rind and juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1/2 cup potato flour

Instructions

Boil the honey, sugar, and water to the soft-ball stage. Separate the eggs, beat the yolks until thick and lemon-colored, and then beat the sirup into them. Add the grated lemon rind and juice, stir in the potato flour, and finally fold in the whites of the eggs, beaten very light. Bake in a tube pan for about 50 minutes.
