One pound ground sweet almonds, one-half pound of butter, one pound of sugar, ten yolks of eggs, three ounces of arrowroot fecule, ten whites of eggs. Flavor as to taste.

Mix up butter, sugar, almonds and yolks of eggs altogether with the flavor. Beat it up well, then mix up the arrowroot, then beat the whites of eggs very stiff. Mix up gently as for sponge cake. Have your mold well buttered. Pour the mixture in half the mold and bake it slowly in a paper bag, or otherwise. With this mixture you can cook it in small baking-sheets buttered in the same way. Lay the mixture about one inch thick and cook slowly. With this you can make any cake or dessert by cutting it in any shape you wish, and, iced in any color you fancy and any flavor.
