Cocoa-Nut Pound Cake
367. One pound of butter,
One pound of flour,
One pound of sugar,
One pound of cocoa-nut,
One wine-glass of rose-water,
Ten eggs.
Peel the brown skin off the cocoa-nut and grate it. Beat the butter and sugar to a cream, whisk the eggs and add to it, and stir in the flour. Add gradually the grated nut and rose-water. Beat the mixture very hard for ten or fifteen minutes; butter your pan, line the sides with thick paper, which should be well buttered, pour in the mixture and bake it in a moderate oven for about three hours.
