Ingredients

Directions

The book says “a moderate oven”. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

  1. Add the grated lemon rind to the cake mixture.

  2. Turn the mixture into a prepared tin.

  3. Bake in a moderate oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 1.5 to 2 hours.

  4. When the cake is half-baked, place the slices of citron peel on top.
