Directions:
- WRITTEN AS PER MARTHA WASHINGTON'S DIRECTIONS.
- Take forty eggs and divide the whites from the yolks, and beat them (whites) to a froth.
- Then work the butter to a cream, and put the whites of the eggs to it, a cup at a time, until well-worked.
- Then add sugar (finely powdered) to it in the same manner (one cup at a time).
- Then put the egg yolks and flour and fruit to it.
- Add to it mace, nutmeg, wine and brandy.
- Two hours will bake it. (350 degrees).
- In the TV program: Martha Stewart baked this in a 16x16x3-inch square pan (it was HUGE!). I suppose you could divide the batter between two 13x9 pans, too.
- She frosted it with a meringue (whipped egg white & sugar) that was lightly baked to give it a crunch - and claimed that it would keep for weeks if the cake wasn't cut.
- She's got a smaller version on her website.
