HELP !

METTERNICH CAKE


I have researched this cake and I get cross referenced to Sachertote , and the history of  Viennese nobility , Lord Metternich and a young  16 year old   ( Master Sacher ) who made a version of Metternick `s favourite sweet.


The recipe I have is more than 82 years old .


The ingredients .........
4 eggs
6 ozs castor sugar
Finely grated lemon grind or chopped peel
5 ozs flour
1/4 tsp of baking powder
Pinch of cinnamon


It should be baked in a diamond shaped tin


The only reference made to Vienna is its recommendation to fill the layers with chocolate Vienna icing ..........


Does anyone have any ideas or knowledge on this recipe.......


What about PARISIAN CAKE ?


This is made with a short crust  .....getting nothing like this when I googled it .
