One cupful of butter rubbed to a cream with two of sugar ; one cupful of milk; the stiffened whites of six eggs; juice of a lemon and half the grated peel steeped in the juice, then strained ; one scant quart of flour, or enough for good batter, sifted twice with a rounded teaspoonful of Cleveland's Baking Powder.

Cream butter and sugar; whip in the lemon-juice and peel; add the whites alternately with the flour; bake in a loaf, or in layers for jelly cake.
