POTATO FLOUR SPONGE CAKE NO. 2. The accompanying recipe for sponge cake contains honey for part of the sweetening, both the yolks and the whites of the eggs, and potato flour. When sugar and wheat flour are scarce, this is a very good cake to make.

• 1/2 c. honey
• 1/2 c. granulated sugar
• 1/2 c. water
• 5 eggs
• Grated rind and juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1/2 c. potato flour

Boil the honey, sugar, and water to the soft-ball stage. Separate the eggs, beat the yolks until thick and lemon-colored, and then beat the sirup into them. Add the grated lemon rind and juice, stir in the potato flour, and finally fold in the whites of the eggs, beaten very light. Bake in a tube pan for about 50 minutes.
