Srilankan Love Cake Ingredients

7 Eggs; separated	2 tb Honey
500 g Caster (granulated) sugar	1/2 ts Finely grated lemon rind
250 g Semolina (flour)	1/2 ts Ground mace/nutmeg
375 g Raw cashews; finely chopped	1/2 ts Ground cardamom
2 tb Rose water	1/2 ts Almond essence (optional)

Instructions for Srilankan Love Cake

Algorithm: 1. Grease and line a 20cm square tin with two layers of grease-proof paper. 2. Beat the yolks and sugar until light and creamy. 3. Stir in the rest of the ingredients other than the egg whites. 4. Beat egg whites until they are firm peaks. Mix this with the rest and put it into the tin. 5. Bake at 150C for an hour. The cake should be evenly golden brown on top and feel firm to the touch. If the top should get brown too quickly, cover the top with greased paper or foil. The center will finish up moist - so dont use the skewer test. 6. Remove from the oven and leave it in the tin till quite cold. (Do not attempt to take the cake out.) Cut into pieces in the tin and take out the pieces. REC.FOOD.RECIPES ARCHIVES /CAKES From rec.food.cooking archives. Downloaded from Glens MM Recipe Archive, http://www.erols.com/hosey.
