When all
are mixed and the cake looks very light, add the spice, with half a pint
of brandy, the currants and almonds; butter the mould well, pour in part
of the cake, strew over it some raisins and citron--do this until all is
in: set it in a well heated oven: when it has risen, and the top is
coloured, cover it with paper; it will require three hours baking--it
must be iced.

NAPLES BISCUIT.
Beat twelve eggs light, add to them one pound of flour, and one of
powdered sugar; continue to beat all together till perfectly light; bake
it in long pans, four inches wide, with divisions; so that each cake,
when done, will be four inches long, and one and a half wide.
