Rub together 1 lb. 6 oz. sugar, 1 lb. 6 oz. butter till very light. Beat 8 eggs till very thick, leaving out the whites. Sift 2 lbs. flour into the eggs, butter and sugar. Have a teaspoonful of mixed spices--cinnamon, mace and nutmeg--to a half glass of rose water. Stir the whole well, and roll it out about a half an inch thick. Then cut out your cakes, and bake a few minutes. When they are cold, spread each with peach preserves. Beat the whites of 4 eggs very light, and add ½ lb. powdered sugar to make them as thick as icing. Flavor with lemon juice or rose water, and with a spoon spread it on the cakes high in the center. Put the cakes again in the oven, and when they are of a pale brown they are done.
