Grate four ounces of
Chocolate, and
mix with it two tablespoonfuls of flour and one-fourth of a teaspoonful
each of cinnamon, cloves and baking powder. Separate six eggs. Add one
cupful of powdered sugar to the yolks, and beat until very light; then
add the grated yellow rind and the juice of half a lemon, and beat five
minutes longer. Now add the dry mixture, and with a spoon lightly cut in
the whites, which are first to be beaten to a stiff froth. Pour the
mixture into buttered shallow pans, having it about half an inch thick.
Bake in a moderate oven for half an hour. When the cake is cool, spread
a thin layer of currant jelly over one sheet, and place the other sheet
on this. Ice with
vanilla icing; and when this hardens, cut in squares.
It is particularly nice to serve with ice-cream.
