Heart to Hearth Cookery

If you ice it (To make an excellent Plum Cake), take half a Pound of Double-refin’d Sugar sifted: then put some of the Sugar, and beat it up with the White of an Egg, and beat it with a Whisk, and a little Orange-flower Water, but do not over-wet it, then strew in all the Sugar by degrees; and beat it all near an Hour; the Cake will take so long a baking; then draw it, and wash it with icing, and put it in again.
