1208 | Almond Cake Glacé.
—Put a quarter of a pound of powdered sugar and a quarter of a pound of butter into a bowl; beat well together with a wooden spatula for ten minutes. Break in two eggs; beat well, and break in two more; continue beating, and break in two more (six in all), until well mixed together. Then grate in the peel of the third of a small lemon. Add two ounces of peeled and pounded almonds (No. 1207), and a quarter of a pound of flour. Mix gradually together for no longer than two minutes. Butter and sugar a round form holding one quart, and pour the preparation into it. Place it in a slow oven for one hour. See that it gets a good golden color. Take it out; let it get thoroughly cool, and remove from the mold. Lay it on a dish with a folded napkin. Glaze the top lightly with a small hair-bush, as for No. 1206, until it looks well, and send to the table.
