Number Of Ingredients 12

6 large eggs, separated
1 cup(s) butter softened
2 cup(s) sugar
1 tablespoon(s) lemon peel, greated
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon(s) almond extract
1 1/2 cup(s) all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon(s) ground cardamon
6 tablespoon(s) milk 2%

Steps:

  • Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temp for 30 minutes. Generously grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan.
  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in lemon peel and extracts. In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and cardamom; add to the creamed butter mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition.
  • Beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks forms. Fold into batter.
  • Transfer to prepared pan. Bake at 350 for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool. Sprinkle with confectioner sugar.
  • NOTE: for easier removal of cake, use solid shortening when greasing the tube pan.
