Queen Cake

Mix a pound of dried flour, the same of sifted sugar, and currants; wash a pound of butter, add rose water—beat it well—a tea-cup of cream; then mix with it eight eggs, yelks and whites beaten separately; add the dry ingredients by degrees; beat the whole an hour, bake in little tins, or saucers, filling only half.
