A good sponge cake should be as yellow as gold, of velvety soft-ness, and as tender as a marsh mallow. Ié the rule here given is strictly followed such a cake will be the sure result. Separate the whites and yolks of four eggs, beat. whites until stiff enough to remain in the inverted platter. Beat into them half cup granulated sugar, beat the yolks, add to them half cup sugar, beating it five minutes by the clock, add to the yolks juice and grated rind of a lemon. Now beat well together the yolks and the whites, at this stage beating is in order, but must be absolutely avoided after adding flour of which take one cup. The mixture should now look like a puff ball, and the flour is to be tossed or stirred into it with a light toss of a wooden spoon, stirring is quite different from beating. The cup of sugar should be generous, the cup of flour scant. Bake for twenty-five minutes in a moderate oven. Just before putting in the oven sprinkle on the top through a sifter about a tablespoonful granulated sugar. This gives the “crackly” on top crust so desirable. BOILED SPONGE CAKE.
