  1. When you have beat the whites of the eggs to a froth, put in the yolks, and every thing else, except the flour, and beat them well together.
  2. Shake in the flour just before you set it in the oven.
  3. Be particularly careful to beat the whites and yolks separately, otherwise your cake will be heavy, and very unpleasant.
