Original Text
Diet Bread Cake. 9 eggs—their weight in sugar—the weight of 6 only in flour, the rind of a lemon, grated carraway seeds to your taste. Beat up the whites to a stiff froth alone first, then three yolks with them, shake the sifted sugar in, whisking till it is thoroughly mixed, and when it appears light take out the whisk, add the flour, and with a wooden spoon stir it slowly one way, but do not beat it—add the carraway seeds and lemon peel. Bake in a well-buttered tin, sprinkled with the raspings of bread. The cake once in the tin must be immediately put into the oven.
