Beat the yolks to a creamy foam, and add; and then the sugar, beating hard.

Have the whites a stiff froth, and stir in, adding flavoring and remainder of flour.

Bake in one large loaf for one hour, letting the oven be moderate.

Frost, if liked.
FRUIT CAKE.
One pound of butter; one pound of sugar; one pound and a quarter of sifted flour; ten eggs; two nutmegs grated; a tablespoonful each of ground cloves, cinnamon, and allspice; a teaspoonful of soda; a cup of brandy or wine, and one of dark molasses; one pound of citron; two pounds of stoned and chopped raisins, and two of currants washed and dried.
Dredge the prepared fruit with enough of the flour to coat it thoroughly.
To have the cake very dark and rich looking, brown the flour a little, taking great care not to scorch it.

Cream the butter, and add the sugar, in which the spices have been mixed; then the beaten yolks of eggs; then the whites beaten to a stiff froth, and the flour.
