Pound Cake ( No. 2. )
1 lb. flour.
1 lb. eggs.
1 lb. sugar.
¾ lb. butter.
1 glass brandy.
1 nutmeg.
1 teaspoonful mace.
Cream half the flour with the butter, and add brandy and spice. Beat the yolks until light, add the sugar, then the beaten whites and the rest of the flour alternately. When this is thoroughly mixed, put all together and beat steadily for half an hour.
If properly made and baked this is a splendid cake.
