Pound Cake
- 1/2 cup finely cut citron
- 2/3 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cup sugar
- 5 eggs
- 2 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon mace
Steam the citron until it is soft, cut into thin strips, and then into small piece. Cream the butter until it is white, sift the sugar in slowly, and beat the two until the sugar is dissolved. Add the eggs one at a time without previously beating them, and beat each egg in thoroughly before the other is added. Slowly stir in the flour and mace and bake in a very slow over, in one large or two small loaf-cake pans.
